Youcanreconfigureavirtualmachine(Vmelement)bymakingchangestoanyofthefollowingsections:
 VirtualHardwareSection
 OperatingSystemSection
 NetworkConnectionSection
 GuestCustomizationSection
Modifiedsectionsmustcontainallrequiredelements,evenifyouarenotchangingtheirvalues.Some
