VMware policy change via command line

Dear Expert

Due to some reasons, I am not able to change some settings from GUI, its been taking too long to load and I had many policies to change

I am trying to make sure 'Primary VM identifier' is set to  'VM display name' instead of 'VM hostname' under  VMWare  tab.

Can some one please advise how I can do via command line because I could not find correct switches in the command for it.

 

thanks!
