D365FO - Oracle Virtual Box Dupe UUID found on new OneBox version

Currently I am using Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager to run my onebox instance of D365FO for development. However anytime a new version comes out and I try to create a new instance of my onebox I get the following error

Cannot register the hard disk 'newD365FO.vhd' because a harddisk 'oldD365FO.vhd' with UUID already exists.

In order to fix the problem we need to do the following:

1. Open cmd.exe as admin and run the following
2. cd C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\
3. VBOXMANAGE.EXE internalcommands sethduuid "C:\locationofd365vhd\FinandOps8.0withPlatUpdate15.vhd"



Once this has been completed continue adding the disk to a new vm setup like you normally would and you should no longer get the error.
