From time to time it is handy to be able to detect that you are running inside of a virtual machine (for instance - you may have maintenance scripts that you want to run on all of your computers - but have them behave differently inside of your virtual machines). The easiest way to detect that you are inside of a virtual machine is by using 'hardware fingerprinting' - where you look for hardware that is always present inside of a given virtual machine.This of course should be scripted.
Read how to script this here.
