      sadly no joy - same result even with hostname\administrator

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

          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.

                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?

                  Enter another PSSession to HV01.

                  Then type get-service vmms

                  Does the status say it's running?

                      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:\

                      1. 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.

                                  @obsolesce I don't have to run any firewall powershell commands. The steps I listed above are literally all I need to do. I did this on a server about 10 days ago. Installed perfectly on a Dell R420.

                                    @joel If you followed the steps I layed out, you HAVE to log in as WSMAN\username where username is the user you setup on the Hyper-V server. I don't know why but without "WSMAN", regardless of the workgroup name, the remote management doesn't work.

                                      I never mentioned the firewall.

                                      I mentioned in my first response here to make sure the host and management PC are fully up to date.

                                          This server build is frustrating...I managed to get the HyperV server installed and able to connect to it via Hyper-V Manager. However when trying to boot the Guest VM via my CDRom (WindowsServer2016)m it tells me the BIOS was locked and the OS was tied to vendor. Note: I was using the original CD that I got shipped with the server!!!

                                          I then tried burning an ISO (generic) to USB but was unable to mount and boot from it as the HyperV Manager couldnt see the USB plugged into the Host! I read about making it 'offline' first but when attempting that, it turns out i couldnt make removable media offline!!

                                          This thing is a nightmare!
                                          Thinking of packing in Hyper-V!

                                            Why don't you just mount the ISO in a virtual cdrom for the VM?
