Remotely Identifying Bridged or NATed VMs on Windows hosts (Hypervisor agnostic)
Trying to come up with a method to identify if a guest VM running on a Windows host is NATed or Bridged regardless of the Hypervisor that it is running on.
I explored Win32_NetworkAdapter and Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration, but didn't find any property that will indicate if the adapter is bridged or NATed.
The ROOTvirtualization WMI class is Hyper-V specific and does not offer information for other Hypervisors.

Off the top of my head, I wouldnt think you should be able to tell. The type of network is independent of of the VM. There is no reason for the VM to know what the network type is. I suppose it is possible the information is passed to the VM, but again, why would it?

The idea is to remotely identify if a host is running VMs in bridged or NAT mode. For example on a machine running Hyper-V you could check the Msvm_GuestNetworkAdapterConfiguration WMI class and get the network configurations for each VM. I am looking to accomplish this without being hypervisor dependent.
