Hm, you're right. There also exists a plugin to identify a vmware-server.

vmware_detect.nasl relies primarly on the MAC adress, but the list seems 
not to be complete for not discovering my VMware :)
vmware_server_detect.nasl checks the banner of the VMware remote-console 
but also failed to identify my server. Hopefully I got time to write a 
fix during my holidays.

Cheers,

Toby
