Same issue but I did not install with a service profile ( I don't know what service profile is. ) I've installed from scratch. Seems to be a problem of vmware not being able to read the uuid from motherboard,
I've updated my Shuttle PC motherboard bios to the latest from around april this year and reinstalled vmware esxi from scratch but it still gets that generic UUID 00020003-0004-0005-0006-000700080009
