So... if I just install Hyper-V Server 2016 WITH the Desktop Experience, I would be able to manage VM's by directly remoting into the server, right? Then I wouldn't have to mess with the Hyper-V Manager in Windows 10..
Well... that's not a product option. To do that you have to buy and install a full Windows Server license, and then that license is tied to Hyper-V. If you od that, then you can admin it locally. But if you are even thinking about that, it's time to be on KVM.
See this is why I am so confused.
- I can go to Microsoft and download Windows Server 2016, which when you install it, has options to install as core or GUI. Either way, I have to pay for a license because it's not free, core or GUI, RIGHT?? - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2016
- I can go to Microsoft and download the "evaluation" of Hyper-V Server 2016, which when I install, has the option to install standard evaluation, or desktop experience evaluation. I can just use the standard no GUI and it's 100% free, RIGHT?? So then what does it matter if I choose to install the free hypervisor with the desktop experience?? - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-hyper-v-server-2016
If both things are separate things, but installing the Desktop Experience means they are the same thing and I have to pay for a license to use Hyper-V, then I don't understand why they are selling them together... or wait is it because they want money??
Now I am not trying to make assumptions here or not thinking in a sensible GD way. I am just trying to navigate my way through options for installing Hyper-V, having it be free, and having it actually ****ing work.
Wait, when the fuck did they add a GUI to Hyper-V. I do not recall seeing that when I setup my last Hyper-V Server 2016 instance 8 months ago.
I don't know but I swear to God that I saw in three different attempts of installing hyper-v 2016 that there was the second option of having a desktop experience installed.
I'm downloading it now. I have a crappy old desktop that may support it here that i can attempt the initial install on.
Also, this thread is what I did on a defualt AD domain.
https://mangolassi.it/topic/12296/my-experiences-with-hyper-v-server-2016.
about halfway down I posted the firewall rules I enabled and such.
I'm downloading it now too. I do notice the file name is a bit different than the ISO I had downloaded before, about 3 months ago.
- Old file: 14393.0.161119-1705.RS1_REFRESH_SERVER_EVAL_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO
- New file: 14393.0.161119-1705.RS1_REFRESH_SERVERHYPERCORE_OEM_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO
Maybe, just maybe, I am a total fucking idiot and somehow mixed my ISOs up...
You are a total idiot based on THAT post.
The first is Server. The second is Hyper-V Server
pfffffhahahahahahahahah... WHAT THE FUCK.
Blame MS for making it confusing as fuck in the name of licensing dollars.
No one will hold it against you.

Half the time looking at an ISO name I can't even figure out what it even is from them!

Yeah this time during installation it didn't give me any install options. Just installing straight Hyper-V... sigh
I never cease to amaze myself at my own ability to constantly screw up due to not paying attention.
Sorry guys and thanks for your help. Thanks for dealing with me.

@dave247 This post is what I had to set for firewall on the Hyper-V Server after joining the domain.
https://mangolassi.it/topic/12296/my-experiences-with-hyper-v-server-2016/10
After that I posted some images of what I did to setup teaming and such.

Great, thanks. I will get on that once the install is finished. I've been working on this for about 3 days now. Unreal.

Yeah I have a HyperV firewall rule in a GPO. Your errors mentioned permissions. But that one said something else I think.

I’m guessing the error the OP had waS because there was no Hyper-V to attach to.... now that we know it was the wrong ISO.

Finally, after all that.. I still had trouble connecting from the Windows 10 computer through Hyper-V Manager. After another hour of pounding my head, I finally got connected.
I had to:
- Run Hyper-V Manager as administrator and use the account that was a local admin on Hyper-V.
- Connect to server: hv01 - and do nothing with the "connect as other user" option
Prior to this, I was just running Hyper-V Manager not as admin (my regular domain user account) and then I would choose "connect as other user" and put in the credentials of the domain account which was local admin on the Hyper-V server. That always lead to the permissions error.

I thought you were using a user that was a member of the "Domain Admins" group?

I thought you were using a user that was a member of the "Domain Admins" group?
I would log into my main Windows 10 system as my regular domain user but then whenever I ran Hyper-V Manager, I would attempt to connect to the Hyper-V server as the domain admin account that was also local admin on the Hyper-V server. I had also tried running Hyper-V Manager as admin and used the same DA account but it didn't work -- this was before I realized I was using the wrong ISO.
Between all of the things I tried to get it to work, I lost track of the steps. So once I got the correct thing installed, I wasn't sure what way I should run Hyper-V Manager and connect.. So essentially, if I am logged into my Windows 10 system as a regular user, I need to run Hyper-V Manager as the user that has admin access to the Hyper-V server.
It's been a pain in the ass but at least I've learned a lot out of this.

@dave247 log out of your workstation and log in as domain admin.
Does it all work?Log out as domain admin and log in as the hyper-v admin you made.
Does it all work?If so, then you did it all right and just had normal windows runas issues.
-
I’m confused on the Hyper-v admin you made. Was it local on Hyper-v? If yes then how could any other computer log into itself as that user?

I chose option 3 from the sconfig menu ("add local administrator") and then for that I chose a domain user. Then, I was attempting to connect to my Hyper-V server through the Windows 10 Hyper-V Manager as that user.
