How to determine the amount of "sockets" in Windows Server 2012 Environment

I am currently running Windows Server 2012, I have 4 virtual servers running inside of a Hyper-V setup.

I am trying to determine how many physical CPU sockets I have.

I would also like to know how to determine this?

Thanks in advance

Ok where do I run this command? The powershell on physical server?

Yes.
OK I used the command above to return the number and it returned "2"

So does that mean the the number of total sockets is 2?

Sorry just want to make sure.
Yes.
And just in case, this will give you the cores and logical processors (one row per CPU, so two rows):
gwmi Win32_Processor | select number*

Open in new window

Win32_Processor class
