To find out if you are on a Virtual Machine of Windows Server 2012, you can do the following:

1. Open the PowerShell command window, and type in the "systeminfo" command as shown below:

PS C:\Users\fyicenter> systeminfo | findstr /i System
...
System Manufacturer:       Microsoft Corporation
System Model:              Virtual Machine
System Type:               x64-based PC
System Directory:          C:\Windows\system32
...

2. Check the output. If you see "System Model: Virtual Machine", then you are on a Virtual Machine. Otherwise, you are on a real physical machine.
