question about Hyper-V resource management?
- 
 @jimmy9008 tbh I've not tested it for 3-4 yrs, but just found it bloated and always had issues remote managing it from laptop/desktop. Should really give it another go with 2016.

I had no AD, so I used it to get my first AD machine up and running

 Correct, like many βfreeβ technologies there is always a catch, at some point not everything can be run on the free.

 You can try using "Project Honolulu" for your management purposes. It's almost a "single pain in the ass" management console that has nothing to do with management itself but rather a configuration tool (basically various MMC snap-ins, Control Panel, Server Manager and so on brought to web) for windows. But it will solve your issues at current stage for sure.

 http://hv-manager.org/. At least you get 5 VMs, but the 5Nines gives you 6..

The annoying thing for me is the versioning needed to manage hyper-v. Example: For Hyper-V 2016 you need a windows 10 machine to manage it.

 Unless they changed it to make it not work since I've used Windows 7, I assumed you still could.
