How can I determine what the host server is for a Hyper V guest server operating system? 
 
I have connected using remote desktop to the Hyper V guest operating system, which is Server 2008 R2. 
 
I need to get the server name of the server that hosts this Hyper V guest operating system. 
 
Is there a way that I can look this information up from within the Hyper V guest operating system or by looking in Active Directory Users and Computers?

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
