Non unique Serial Numbers

Description
I'm pulling WMI information through PowerShaell and for all my Vbox machines they read a serial number of "0".
Powershell command is "Get-WMIObject win32_BIOS"
It would be nice if vbox created a Unique Serial number here like Vmware and XP Mode do.
The scripting I'm doing is dumping this information into a SQL database and using it as the Primary key so it would be nice if this was actually unique.
Windows 7 host running windows guests. I checked it on a Windows 7 and 208 R2 guest.

Could you check if this works? Change the DMI system serial number by the following command
Replace VM_NAME by the proper VM name and "12345" by a serial number of your choice (this can actually be a string, not necessarily a number).
