We need to identify VMs to filter GPOs. There is an old trick to query the Win32_ComputerSystem for Manufacturer being VMware or something virtual. This works for my Server 2008 R2 VMs, but all Server 2012 R2 VMs have this output, if I query using PowerShell:

PS C:\> gwmi Win32_ComputerSystem | fl Manufacturer, Model

Manufacturer : HP 
Model        : ProLiant DL380 Gen9

Any Idea why my VMs are ProLiant Servers?

Imagine a Company, only five employees, where a standalone virtual/cloud Remote Desktop Server is enough to serve all of the company's needs. This RDS stores all Programs and Files of the customer. All user accounts are created on the RDS server itself.

Now we want to implement an SSO for VPN access. At other infrastructures, we can access AD using LDAP to use the same user database for each customer on the Firewall.

Is there any possibility to access the RDS local users using LDAP? Couldn't find any tools/services. AD LDS serves users from it's own DB as i know.
