I took sometime this long holiday weekend to install Hyper-V Server 2012 and Windows 8 Pro (on separate hardware, same LAN) to hopefully get a little more familiar with it. From the WIN8 client I am unable to connect to any VMs using the Virtual Machine Connection or the Hyper-V manager. I get the the following error:

You do not have the required permission to complete this task.

Basically, here are the steps I followed on the HYPERV server:

  • Installed Hyper-V Server 2012 and ran all Windows Updates
  • Disabled the firewall: Get-NetFirewallProfile | Set-NetFirewallProfile –Enabled False
  • Added a local account Goyuix on HYPERV server
  • Ran hvremote.wsf: cscript hvremote.wsf /add:HYPERV\Goyuix

And the WIN8 client:

  • Installed Windows 8 Pro
  • Disabled the firewall: Get-NetFirewallProfile | Set-NetFirewallProfile –Enabled False
  • Added a local account Goyuix on WIN8 client
  • Ran hvremote.wsf: cscript hvremote.wsf /anondcom:grant

When I run the cscript hvremote.wsf /show /target:HYPERV command from the WIN8 client, I get the following message as a failure:

Cannot connect to root\cimv2 on HYPERV

If you are using a HOSTS file to resolve the server name from the client, you could try making sure to use the server name only and not FQDN, per this:

Also, check the Windows Security event log to see if there are any additional details about authentication.

Hope that helps.

  • I had tried with IP address and it was definitely not happy with that. After rebooting the HYPERV server and connecting by host name things appear to be working. Thanks!
