From Hyper-V Server:

Enable Remote Management

Select 4 on the menu

Then select 1 for Enable Remote Management

Go back to previous menu

Enable Remote Desktop

Select 7 on the menu

Then select "e" for enable

Select 2 on the next screen for Allow clients running ANY version of remote desktop

Run Powershell Commands

Type powershell in command window and press Enter

Type "Enable-PSRemoting" and press ENTER

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

Select "y" when prompted to confirm and press ENTER

Exit Powershell by typing "exit" and press ENTER

In command prompt, type "net start winrm" and press ENTER <-- Use this is can't connect later to server

From Windows 10 Machine

Control Panel -> Programs & Features -> Turn Windows Features On Or Off

Enable Hyper-V role and press OK

Launch Powershell as Admin

Type "Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value "IP_OF_HYPER-V_SERVER" and press ENTER

Type "y" when prompted and press ENTER

Type "Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role client -DelegateComputer "IP_OF_HYPER-V_SERVER" and press ENTER

Type "y" when prompted and press ENTER

Edit Group Policy

Click Windows icon and type "gpedit" and open Group Policy program

Local Computer-> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Credential Delegation

Edit the "Allow delegating fresh credentials with NTLM-Only server authentication"

Click "Show" button to add items

Add value "WSMAN/*" to servers list and click OK

Manage Via Hyper-V Manager

Start Hyper-V Manager and click Connect To Server and add IP address of server

Select "Connect as another user" and click "Set User"

Enter user login details with username in format of "WSMAN\Username"

Create Virtual Switch as needed

MY HERO - I'm in process of re-installing so will follow these steps - Thanks

So I followed this to the letter and no luck this time!!!
Last time i did run some PS for firewalls - do I need to do this also on the host?

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

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.

I'm assuming Disk 0 is your RAID10.

You have a partition setup for 80GB which is your C volume.

Now you need to (on DISK 0), create another VOLUME using the rest of the space and give it the letter D.
