Microsoft Surface Has Been Discovered as Virtual Machine in OpsMgr

less than 1 minute read

I have my Surface Pro 2 being monitored by the OpsMgr management group in my lab. Today I noticed it has been discovered as a virtual machine in OpsMgr:

SNAGHTML161a72

The discovery for this property uses a WMI query:

Select Name FROM Win32_BaseBoard WHERE Manufacturer = “Microsoft Corporation”

And I queried Win32_BaseBoard class on my surface:

If you also have Surface monitored by OpsMgr and there are groups being populated based on the “Virtual Machine” property of Windows Computer class, you may want to modify the group populator expression.
