Hyper-V-server 2016

Hi,

I installed Hyper-V-Server 2016 on a Dell server T610.

I would to manage it remotely via my laptop with Windows 7 Professional. So I Installed the called Hyper-V Manage.

The problem is I can't connect to my Hyper-V server within the hyper-v manager.

I have either the message : don't have access ...
or operation failed ...


Can someone help ?

Thanks

Try to ping your Hyper-V server

Seem like a DNS issue

are you using the domain account ?
no i don't use a domain account. I created a common user with the same password on the Win7 machine and the hyper-v-server.

For information I didn't install Windows server 2016. But Hyper-V-Server 2016.
Are you working in Domain environment or Workgroup Environment

Can you please disable firewall
I'm working in WorkGroup Environement. I disabled the firewall via the command :

netsh advfirewall set allprofile state Off

I agree with Peter. You need to connect to another server with the 2016 Hyper-V management tools.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/compute/hyper-v/manage/remotely-manage-hyper-v-hosts
If the host is in a workgroup then the only way to manage it is to use HVRemote (John Howard's tool) to set up both the Hyper-V host and the remote machine to manage it.

From a security perspective this is a _really bad idea_ as the process of making things work opens a lot of holes on the Hyper-V host.

We install GUI/Full Desktop on most standalone Hyper-V servers and manage via RDP or iLO/iDRAC/RMM KVM over IP in a pinch.

Hi,

Sorry for this delayed answer but I was sick. Finally I installed a win10 machine and applied the instructions/comments of "thr qureshi"
Now I can access Hyper-V-Server 2016. I also tried the 5nine solution It works fine also and is very convenient.
On the COM Security tab, select Edit Limits…
Select ANONYMOUS LOGON and place a check in the Allow column of Remote Access box

Just keep in mind that point. ANONYMOUS LOGON means _anyone_ has initial access to that host box.
