Hey VM, What's Your Hypervisor?

Chris Wolf of Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine explains how you can tell what hypervisor type a VM is running on when you connect remotely to a VM.

The easiest way that I have found to profile a VM thus far is by querying its virtual MAC address. For example by doing a ipconfig /all in a command prompt.

To save you the step of looking up the vendor OUI prefixes, here are the OUIs of the most popular virtualization platforms:

* Microsoft: 00-03-FF
* SWsoft: 00-18-51
* Virtual Iron: 00-0F-4B
* VMware: 00-0C-29 and 00-50-56
* XenSource: 00-16-3E
