      Hi,

      I have installed Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, but now I have two problems problems:

      • How to manage that server from XP ?
      • How to manage that server from Server 2008 R2 ?

      P.S. - Remote desktop is useless.

        If you have a Server 2008 R2 system, you can simply add the Remote Administration 'Feature' for Hyper-V Manager.   All of the remote management consoles add as Features.

        If you have XP, you are out of luck, the console is built for Win7.  (there are infrastructure pieces of the OS that it requires that XP does not have).

        the other option is SCVMM R2.

        Yet, another option is the Hyper-V PowerShell library on CodePlex.  This can be installed on the Hyper-V R2 Server or it can be used remotely from your XP client (once you upgrade the Windows Management Framework to revision 2.0 - PowerShell 2, WinRM 2, and BITS 4l).

            That whas what I was looking for, but now there is another problem, when I try to connect to Hyper-v server, I get error:

            Cannot connect to the RPC service on computer '10.1.1.1'. Make sure your RPC service is running.

            I checked RPC service and it is running, where is the problem ?

                In Hyper-V logs i found error:

                The activation for CLSID {ECABAFB9-7F19-11D2-978E-0000F8757E2A} failed because remote activations for COM+ are disabled. To enable this functionality use Server Manager to install the COM+ Network Access feature in the Application Server role.

                  Hi,

                   

                  It seems that you are working in a workgroup instead of domain environment. If so, you may get some permission issue when you manage the Hyper-V machine remotely.

                   

                  If you add  the Hyper-V computer and the client computer you used to the same domain, it will be very convenient and easy to manage the remote Hyper-V computer. If you do want to work in a workgroup, please refer to the post I provided in my last reply.

                   

                   

                  Best Regards,

                  Vincent Hu
