The computer is a virtual machine

The information in this article applies to:

  • Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server

  • Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server

  • Application-tier server

  • Data-tier server

  • Health check

The Best Practices Analyzer tool for Team Foundation Server queries the Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class, Win32_ComputerSystem, to determine the value of the Model key for the computer.

An information message appears if the value contains the string "Virtual Machine." This string indicates that the computer is running inside another computer that is running Microsoft Virtual PC. You can use Virtual PC to run multiple Windows operating systems simultaneously on one workstation. For more information about Virtual PC, see the Microsoft Web site.
