# Getting VDM compatible MD5 hash for Computer name #
# --------------------------------------------------#
# Get the computer name and convert it to uppercase
$computerName = [System.Environment]::MachineName.ToUpper()
# Create an MD5 hash provider and encoding
$md5 = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider
$encoder = New-Object -TypeName System.Text.UnicodeEncoding
# Compute the MD5 hash of the uppercase computer name
$computerNameMD5Bytes = $md5.ComputeHash($encoder.GetBytes($computerName))
# Convert the byte array to a hexadecimal string without dashes
$computerNameMD5 = [System.BitConverter]::ToString($computerNameMD5Bytes) -replace '-'
# Output the computer name and its MD5 hash without dashes
Write-Output "Computer name: $computerName MD5: $computerNameMD5"
