Windows 7 Vmx File
To import computer information into Configuration Manager for OS deployment you have to enter the computer name and then one or both of the following unique identifiers: MAC address or SMBIOS GUID, aka UUID. Many customers use the MAC address because it is shorter and typically more accessible. However, if the UUID is required this can seem difficult to obtain especially when the target systems are VMware guests. When the guest is initially created it is assigned a UUID which is stored in the VMX configuration file as the uuid.bios property. Here is an example line from the VMX file:
uuid.bios = “42 38 d4 b6 00 90 3e 75-94 06 b3 10 ea fa 2b 1e”
This does not look like a usual SMBIOS GUID in the standard (8)-(4)-(4)-(4)-(12) format. When the system boots and attempts to PXE boot, the same UUID is visible although formatted differently, for example:
If you specified that the files can increase, filenames include an s in the file number, for example, Windows 7-s001.vmdk. If you specified that the virtual disk is divided into 2GB sections, the number of files depends on the size of the virtual disk. How to test Windows 10, 8, 7 for Free, Legally by Mihai Neacsu on 1 February 2015 106762 views The safest and easiest way to test an operating system is inside a virtual machine, because it works right from your current OS, thus you don't need to modify partitions or deal with backups in order to do a standalone installation. File Extension VMX files have been identified on both desktop and mobile devices. They are fully or partially supported by Windows, Linux, and Mac. The VMX File Extension carries a Popularity Rating of 'Low', meaning that these files are scarcely found in most user's file stores. This is a list of file formats used by computers, organized by type. Filename extensions are usually noted in parentheses if they differ from the file format name or abbreviation. 7-Zip x64 x64 zip tools x64 zip format x64 files compression x64 file manager x64 file management x64 winrar x64 winzip x64 rar x64 cab x64 tar x64 iso x64 arj x64 lzh x64 chm x64 deb x64nsis x64 7z x64 gzip x64 bzip2 windows x64.

Vmware Windows 7 Vmx File
Looking at the actual SMBIOS GUID via the UUID property of the Win32_ComputerSystemProduct WMI class (or the comparable System UUID property on the ConfigMgr System Resource), it appears as:
UUID = “B6D43842-9000-753E-9406-B310EAFA2B1E”
The difference between these two (uuid.bios up above and UUID directly above), which are identical except for formatting, is explained in an older Remote Installation Services article on TechNet. The VMware VMX uses the “raw byte order” format while Windows and Configuration Manager use the “pretty print” format. (Thanks to Michael Kelley for that nugget of information.)
So taking a UUID from a VMware VMX to import into Configuration Manager for OS deployment requires some conversion. The attached script does a simple conversion; there may be a more elegant method relying upon the underlying mathematics of the UUID, but that’s beyond my current knowledge.
The script usage is as follows:
.Convert-UUID.ps1 -rawUUID '<uuid>'

where <uuid> is formatted as follows:
01 23 45 67 89 ab cd ef-fe dc ba 98 76 54 32 10
such as used in the uuid.bios property of a VMX file. For example, the above rawUUID yields the following output:
