Check if VMware tools is installed on the machine?If it is VM, I am sure they might have VMware tools installed for better performance and drivers.

Thanks,

MS

Simplest thing I can think of is to check the MAC address. VMware assigns the exact same first 3 octets to every vm in your environment, and they're usually quite different from that of a physical piece of hardware.
