My Hyper-V servers are in a workgroup. You cannot manage Hyper-V from XP. Managing Hyper-V from Windows 7 is your best option, although you can manage it from Vista, which I used to do.
Here is how to enable the Hyper-V Manager in Windows 7:
1. Go to Turn Windows features on or off.
2. Open up Remote Server Administration Tools.
3. Open up Role Administration Tools.
4. Select Hyper-V Tools.
5. Click OK.
6. Run the HVRemote tool on your Windows 7 machine and your Hyper-V server to properly configure security oand other required settings.
Download HVRemote from http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/HVRemote.- Marked As Answer by John Paul CookMVP, Moderator Saturday, December 12, 2009 3:54 AM

Hi,
Add to John’s suggestion, Remote Server Administration Tools is available in the following link, you must download and install it before turn it on in Windows Features.

Sunday, November 06, 2011 1:31 AMI have a weird situation: A Vista machine with Hyper-V Server Manager connecting to a machine with Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 without any problems. I am using same workgroup/user/password on both. But I have a second machine with Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 SP1, also using the same workgroup/user/password of the Vista, but I cannot connect hyper-V Manager with this second server. Already enabled remote management in the blue command window, already ran hvremote, already disabled firewall on the Hyper-V, there is NO way to get connect to it. Always get the damned message "You do not have the required permissions...". The machine can be pinged, I also can connect with RDP to the console, but Hyper-V Manager cannot connect, in the same Vista where I can connect to other Hyper-V Server with the same Hyper-V Manager. The problem it seems is not in Vista. It's really complicated to do what should be the MOST simple task on a system with VMs, to manage it! Microsoft finally got it! Always like too much the MS systems, but Hyper-V seems to be made not friendly on purpose, I flaw I thought was only reserved to the disgusting Linux. Any help???
