Cloned VM's with identical BIOS GUID's

$

We have 68 machines that share a UUID with at least one other machine in our environment. This had to have happened when VM's were cloned and a new unique GUID was not generated.

This is causing issues with our BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping appliance as it is seeing several VM's with the same GUID and cannot tell them apart from one other.

This is apparently the information it is pulling from each OS:
WMIC
SELECT SerialNumber FROM Win32_BIOS
SELECT Vendor, IdentifyingNumber, Name, UUID FROM Win32_ComputerSystemProduct

I need a method to change the UUID's of these VM's. I found this article which uses PowerCLI to "add" the current time to a specified GUID every two seconds thus giving each machine a unique id.

Is there a Hyper-V equivalent to accomplishing the same task?
