12 Steps to Remotely Manage Hyper-V Server 2012 Core — PC-Addicts

Condensed (advanced) Version

1. Configure date and time (select #9).
2. Enable Remote Desktop (select #7). Also select the ‘Less Secure’ option.
3. Configure Remote Management (select #4 then #1).
4. Add local administrator account (select #3). Username and password need to be
exactly the same as the account you are going to use on the client computer to
manage this Hyper-V Server.
5. Configure network settings (select #8). Configure as a static IP. Same subnet as
your home network. Don’t forget to configure the DNS IP.
6. Set the computer name (select #2). Rename the server and reboot.
7. Remote Desktop to server. On your client machine, remote to the server via the IP
address you assigned it. Use the credentials of the local administrator account you
created earlier.
8. Launch PowerShell. In the black cmd window, run the following command: start
powershell
9. Run the following commands:
Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup “Windows Remote Management”
Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup “Remote Event Log Management”
Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup “Remote Volume Management”
Set-Service VDS -StartupType Automatic

10. Reboot the server (select #12).

11. Enable Client Firewall Rule. On your client machine, launch an elevated PowerShell
prompt and type the following command:
Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup “Remote Volume Management”
ii c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

12. Add server hostname and IP to hosts file. Right click hosts and select properties. In
the security tab, add your username. Give your account modify rights.This is needed
because some remote management tools we need to use rely on the hosts file to
resolve the name. Without doing this you are highly likely to encounter some errors
while trying to create VHDs and such. Error you might see: There was an unexpected
error in configuring the hard disk.
