@DustinB3403 said in Losing mouse via hyper v manager:
Anyone can login to the console, as the local admin, and have no additional logging (admin login to console from system-name. . .) for example.
So, there are compliance and logging reasons to not use the console that are general recommendations to "just do".
What? Who has the administrator account password? Hopefully only the most trusted of all people, a subset of the IT team. So that shouldn't be a real issue.
As for logging - I have no idea what logging in available in Hyper-V itself when the Hyper-V Manager is logged into and accesses a Hyper-V host - but I would assume that connection itself is logged based upon the username/password of that IT member - and if they have the Administrator name/password - well, there you go.
As for the actual console - well, there really isn't a way to access a VM from the physical console on the server, so that's a non issue.
