Those are most probably VMs that are not powered on or where the VMware Tools are not installed/running.

You can list the general OS the creator of the VM selected when he created the VM, but that is not conclusive to confirm that a specific OS is actually running on the VM.

I could easily say I'm creating a Windows VM, but install a Linux distro on there.

Get-VM | Group-Object -property {$_.ExtensionData.Config.GuestId}

That code appears to use tools to find within the guest OS which requires tools.  You can use the other object to find out what the configured OS is for the VMX, but it might not match to what is within the OS.

Get-VM |Select Name,

@{N="S.O";E={$_.ExtensionData.config.GuestFullName}}|

group-object -property "S.O"|Select Count,Name|ConvertTo-HTML -title "Relação de Servidores - VMWARE" -body  "<H2>Relação de Servidores - VMWARE</H2>" -head $aforma| Out-File Agrupadas.html

EDIT: Luc to fast for me again :smileysilly:
