    • esxcli system uuid get
  • Convert the first 8 hexadecimal characters to decimal format using calculator or e.g. this online converter.
    • In my case the hexadecimal characters 54aedcc8 translates to decimal numbers 1420745928
  • Use e.g. this Epoch  to convert the decimal numbers to a date.
    • In my case  the decimal numbers 1420745928 translates to Thu, 08 Jan 2015 19:38:48 GMT
