Type "Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role Server" and press ENTER

Select "y" when prompted to confirm and press ENTER

WHat error are you getting now? Make sure hyperv server is fully up to date, as well as your Win10 pc

Joel

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group = "XXX" new enable =yes

Where XXX = Remote Event Log Management
Remote Service Management
File and Printer Sharing
Remote Scheduled Tasks
Performance Logs and Alerts
Remote Volume Management
Windows Firewall Remote Management

Are you connecting as a user that has permission on the host?

Joel

I'm connecting as the local admin. Ie on my host there is a default 'Administrator' user account.

Within HyperV-Manager I choose 'Connect to server' and Set User as:
Workgroup\administrator and then enter my password

Joel

I found online to run this command on the host - I'm not sure what that is so dont feel comfortable running it. Any ideas?

Run “MOFCOMP %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsVirtualization.V2.mof”

Try it as hostname\administrator instead of workgroup

Joel

sadly no joy - same result even with hostname\administrator

The name of the server, not literally "hostname", right?

Joel

@obsolesce haha yes. HV01\Administrator

Obsolesce

@joel said in HyperVServer Build:

@obsolesce haha yes. HV01\Administrator

Can you connect via powershell?

Verify you can ping HV01 by name.

Open up PowerShell on your Win10 PC, and type Enter-PSSession, then hit enter.

Then enter HV01.

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName HV01 -Credential HV01\Administrator does work.

Joel

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName HV01 -Credential HV01\Administrator does work - yes this does work!

Joel

Its just the connecting via hyper-v manager 'Operation not supported' - So how can I allow remote management on the HV01 host or get my host to support Hyper-V Manager?

Obsolesce

Enter another PSSession to HV01.

Then type get-service vmms

Does the status say it's running?

Joel

UPDATE: I have run Updates on the host and after a reboot I think i can now connect. It did throw another error about WinRM firewall but it connected - i'll report back after a bit more tetsing
THANKS so far

Joel

Next I want to create a new VM - My Domain Controller.

First, I want to change Hyper-V settings so my VM's go into D:\

How do I partition the D drive on my host - when i formatted windows I created one partition for (80GB) and left 1.9TB spare (which I want to be my D drive) - How do I bring the D drive online on the host and have it accessible?

Thanks

If you have RSAT installed, you can use Server Manager > File and Storage Services to manage your disks or use Disk Management.
