If you're trying to mask the VM to seem like you're actual system it's going to present issues later. We could also better keep track of deployed software so that things were better managed. It actually made life easier for us to know that the target was a VM and not a physical system.
IF we also installed the agent (for collecting inventory as well as other things like remote control, software deployment, etc.) then it would show the target as being a VM and we could then better support them as well as know if we needed to target that system for updates or not. I was the LANDesk administrator at one of my previous jobs where we had several users with VMware Workstation installed. This will present them with additional issues, later, if not sooner.
Do your companies IT people actually want you to mask your VM? If so, then that means the system grabbing the inventory information will think it has duplicate records, and delete one of them.
