Hi guy's,

Can someone run the code below on a VMware virtual machine and let me know the results?
I do not have a VMware setup yet. It should return a VMware like manufacturer but I need to know the exact value.

 Code:
Break on

$wmiColl = GetObject("WinMgmts:root/cimv2").ExecQuery("Select * FROM Win32_BaseBoard ")

For Each $wmiObj in $wmiColl
	
	? $wmiObj.Manufacturer
		
Next

Sleep 5

Hi Mart,

I got

Intel Corporation

The physical host is an HP DL380 (or maybe 580?).

Regards,

Brad

Looking closer, Win32_BaseBoard returns information on the system board. Makes sense that it might be Intel. The virtual servers are running Windows 2008 R2 (64 bit). I changed it to:

 Code:
Break on

$wmiColl = GetObject("WinMgmts:root/cimv2").ExecQuery("Select * FROM Win32_ComputerSsystem")

For Each $wmiObj in $wmiColl
	
	? $wmiObj.Model
		
Next


and got back VMware Virtual Platform. Is that what you were looking for?

Regards,

Brad

Work great if I remove the extra S in ComputerSsytem

Would you mind running this and let me know the results?

 Code:
Break on

$wmiColl = GetObject("WinMgmts:root/cimv2").ExecQuery("Select * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem")

For Each $wmiObj in $wmiColl
	? $wmiObj.Manufacturer
	? $wmiObj.Model
Next

I know. We have a project coming up that has among others a (small) requirement to detect if the system is a physical or virtual installation on MS or VMware virtualization systems. There is some time to spare but I'm trying to get the whole project done on time.

Check for the HDD, it is always VMware, wether you are in ESXi, Workstation or Fusion.

No, iSCSI off course not \:\)
But in my Inventory I always use $obj.Model from Win32_ComputerSystem.
That returns "VMware Virtual Platform" on ESXi 3.5, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0 and 5.0u1 as well as on Workstation and Fusion. It is also the only thing I could find that would stil work after a P2V conversion.

But keep in mind, this of course gives a different value when using Xen, Hyper-V or RedHat's Hypervisor crap. Different Hypervisor different value.
