The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

"RPC Server is unavailable" error when remotely managing Hyper-V Server 2008.

Asked by AdoBeebo in Hypervisor, Microsoft Virtual Server, Windows Server 2008

Tags: Hyper-V, 2008, RPC

I've setup a workgroup for the purposes of testing Hyper-V Server 2008, the free download version from Microsoft that is, not the Server Core version.

I have followed the instructions and prerequisites in John Howard's blog (if you are familiar with it) for configuring a remote management PC to connect to the Hyper-V Server. This includes allowing WMI and MMC through the client and server firewall, adding a local user to DCOM and admin groups on client and Server machines, and modifying the client DCOM permissions to allow for ANONYMOUS to launch remotely.

I can connect to the Server via Computer Management but whenever I attempt to modify the WMI Security settings I receive the following error "RPC Server is unavailable". Just prior to that it alerts that it couldn't determine if the Server is part of a domain or not.

I can only connect to the server via IP address, receiving a "(null)" error when using the Server hostname. There is no DNS server configured in the workgroup, but the router handles DNS and has logged the Server hostname in its client table. As things stand I cannot connect to the Server using the the Hyper-V MMC.

There is no domain available to join either the workstation or Server to, and there are no other machines available for this project. Please post back if you can suggest a solution.
