Where XXX = Remote Event Log Management

Are you connecting as a user that has permission on the host?

Joel

I'm connecting as the local admin. Ie on my host there is a default 'Administrator' user account.

Within HyperV-Manager I choose 'Connect to server' and Set User as:
Workgroup\administrator and then enter my password

Joel

I found online to run this command on the host - I'm not sure what that is so dont feel comfortable running it. Any ideas?

Run “MOFCOMP %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsVirtualization.V2.mof”

Try it as hostname\administrator instead of workgroup

Joel

sadly no joy - same result even with hostname\administrator

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

Joel

@obsolesce haha yes. HV01\Administrator

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.

Joel

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName HV01 -Credential HV01\Administrator does work - yes this does work!

Joel

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?

Obsolesce

Enter another PSSession to HV01.

Then type get-service vmms

Does the status say it's running?

Joel

UPDATE: I have run Updates on the host and after a reboot I think i can now connect. It did throw another error about WinRM firewall but it connected - i'll report back after a bit more tetsing
THANKS so far

Joel

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:\

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.

diskpart
