I'm in the camp of not joining your hypervisors to the domain.
If you get locked (because of domain controls) out of your hypervisors then you're SOL, along with the domain functions.
We all had 5Nine for free till a few days ago.
has anyone tried this product? https://www.probus-it.com/prohvm-hyper-v-manager/
It has free version and pro is not that expensive (€59.00).
I don't have access to Hyper-V server at the moment to try by myself how it works. -
@triple9 Looks interesting.
I did a quick test of it, and it let me connect from a non-domain joined Win10 client to a Domain-Joined Hyper-V 2012 R2 server with just entering my credentials and what-not.
It DOES provide VM Console access, and it doesn't seem terribly slow either, so after my 5 minutes with it, I rate it as not bad based on the free version. Might be worth buying licenses for folks that manage several Hyper-V servers.
-
@triple9 It's not as pretty as 5Nine but seems to perform the same functions as the free version of 5Nine provided. A little slower but it works.

don't understand what gives more then mmc snap-in so I'm going to test it but at first install run both smart screen and antivirus screwed. just retrying now...

ok, if it is able to mix hyper-v version it can make a bit of sense but it is slooooooooooow.
have to move to the other warehouse, if I've time I'll try to run this in linux under wine.

It didn't seem to run slowly to me at all.

What version(s) of Wine have you tried?
Are we talking about proHVM or the windows client tools?

I've heard it does not run that way as well

Sure, we can use the Scale to manage Hyper-V, but it's hard to believe that that is the answer for such a giant ecosystem - it needs external support for remote management. XenServer + XenOrchestra, Scale, KVM with different tools, etc. have secure web management interfaces for this stuff so that they can be used in a non-LAN setting natively and easily.
@scottalanmiller What free tools allow you to view console and manage KVM and VMs running on KVM, over HTML5 (or remotely via web)?

WebVirtMgr (http://retspen.github.io/) is what I use if I need a web Browser... otherwise, I just use the Virtual Machine Manager.

The Scale HC3 gives you a web interface to your Windows that runs on top of it.
But you can put Guacamole in front of that.

Really? That looks too good to be true...

To be fair, everything truly awesome looks too good to be true until we get used to using it.

Why does no one port awesome stuff like this to Hyper-V? Hyper-V seriously gets no love.

Because they're all afraid that MS is going to ruin it for them.

Good point, so instead they ruin it for MS. Ha ha
