Protected Hyper-V virtual machines have an agent Details dialog that is similar to machines that are protected by VIPRE. 

Agent Environment

The Agent Environment tab includes these items.

  • VM hostname
  • VM domain
  • VM agent GUID VM IP address VM OS name
  • VM date protected (date added) VM status
  • VM deferred work if any
  • Last time the host called into VSS
  • Last time VSS was scanned by the host
  • Last time a threat was detected on the VM
  • Host machine’s Hyper-V agent version
  • Threat database (DB) version

The agent note is on the bottom right of the dialog.
