HyperVServer Build

Joel

I've installed HyperVServer 2016 for the first time (HV01)
I have gone through sconfig and renamed the computer, given it a static ip, enabled remote desktop and remote management but now hit a brick wall.

I want to install 2x VM's on there so have a Windows 10 laptop which I installed the Hyper-V manager on but when i try to connect to my HyperV host (HV01) it says:

"An error occured whilst attempting to connect to server "HV01" check that the Virtual Machine Management Service service is running and that you are authorised to connect to the server.

The computer HV01 could not be resolved. Make sure you typed the machine name correctly and that you have network access.

HELP

Joel

Update:
I just ran Hyper-V Manager as an admin and this time when I tried to connect to HV01, I chose the option to Use another account and entered the HV01 local admin account and got message:

'Enable delegation of user credentials?
This computer is not configured to allow delegation of user credentials. Do you want to allow delgation of user credentials to HV01?'

I clicked YES and got the error:

Delegation of credentials to HV01 could not be enabled.
CredSSP authentication is currently disabled on the local client. You must be running with administrator privileges in order to enable CredSSP

Double help!

If you are not in an AD environment, there are a number of things you have to do to establish trust between the management system (your laptop) and the Hyper-V server.

I saw this earlier but skimmed over it. Having just re-read it, this was key to do on my Windows 10 client.

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Credentials Delegation > Allow delegating fresh credentials with NTLM-only server authentication
Click Enable and add wsman/fqdn-of-hyper-v-host.

I'm going to format and start from scratch as previously I had enabled so many firewall rules and bits so want to start clean and see what I need to enable exactly.

Thanks I'll report back

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

Obsolesce

@joel said in HyperVServer Build:

@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.

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