We can find the UUID of a VMware VM in a number of ways, below you can see two of the easier ones:

1. Through the Managed Object Browser (MOB):

The link you'll need to use is: https://enter-your-host-IP-here/mob/?moid=ha-folder-vm

Then browse via the following:

• select vm
  
  
  
• click on 'config'
  
  
  
• scroll down to find the 'uuid' field
  

2. By running a PowerShell command in the live VM

• Open PowerShell in the Live VM for which you want to get the UUID
• Enter and run the following command:
  
  

  ([guid]((Get-WmiObject win32_bios).SerialNumber -replace "[\s-]","").Substring(6)).ToString()

• The output should show the UUID of the VM and it should look something like this:
