Help with my first Hyper-V setup
-
I closed Windows Admin Center. re-opened and selected host then manage as and checked use my Windows account. Do I have to log off my Win10 machine or reboot the Host or anything?

Now instead of You do not have access rights to Logical Disk Manager on..I am getting "unable to connect to virtual disk service"
-
@obsolesce I read the MS thread. VDS was running and set to manual but I restarted it anyway. Still don't have permission. I went back to Groups and added myself to Remote Management Users.
-
@obsolesce I didn't run the file checker.
-
Now I can't open Services within Computer Management. I could before all these changes listed above. No big deal. I can open it from Windows Admin Center. All part of my education.
-
@lj I tried going to Remote desktop and logging in with my domain user and password. "The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote login".

You have to be part of the Remote Desktop Users group or Administrators group.
-
@lj I went to Windows Admin Center and added the user to Remote Desktop Users and Remote Management Users. the user is a member of local administrators also.
-
@lj Still can't connect to Disk Management or Services.
-
@lj Restarted the Host. Went over to login locally as other user and succeeded. the Server config window does not come up. Another light blue screen comes up and says" C:\Windows\System32\Script.exe.
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.I thought maybe I just need to log in and out once locally with the domain user.
-
@lj Just had a thought. Domain group policies may be a factor.
-
@lj Can;t find anything so far. I have a lot of additional path rules to keep undesired applications from being run by domain users but I don't think that is it. They have never stopped my user before.
-
@lj I logged in to the Host with the domain administrator and password. I was able to log in and Sconfig came right up.
-
@lj I switched user on my Win10 PC and logged in as the domain admin. Services and Disk Management came right up. This is a work around and of course I couldn't get disk management to do what I wanted with the volume sizes. If I blow away my Host OS and reinstall I will have to all of this over, I guess that is how I will learn.
-
@lj headed to a branch library and then home. Will be at another library system on Monday. I'll try my host rebuild Tuesday morning if I can and start asking questions again.
Thanks for all the knowledge so far. -
@lj I have reinstalled the Host with a bigger partition, added it to the domain, got all the Hyper-V manager, remote disk management and Windows Admin Center connected, restored the 2 test VMs with Altaro and everything is working. I used Disk2VHD to virtual a Win7 machine then briefly got it running on the Host.
Keeping in mind that I am still learning, what should be my next step? Perhaps another install of Hyper-V on a desktop and moving VMs back and forth? -

As for what you should do next I can't really say. There is a lot that could be done, and a lot that really won't ever come up.

@obsolesce The Win10 is and the HyperV host is not.
Why not? This does nothing but over complicate your set. You already have an AD environment. why are you not leveraging it?
Is there ever an issue when the AD server is on the Hyper-V host?
I've never had an issue ... just wondering. Mainly the other day because I was having an issue logging in until (I think) the AD server came back up on the host.
Does a Hyper-V server let you log in if something is wrong with the AD server it is hosting? (Obviously this would only be applicable in a one AD server environment. Or is both AD servers were on the same Hyper-V host.)

Cache Credentials makes its possible to login when AD is not available. And you can always login locally.
