does someone faced error "The RPC server is unavailable" during connecting to Disk management MMC console to Hyper-V Server R2? Servers are in the same AD domain and MMC console is enabled on Hyper-V.

Thanks

Both source and destination are 2008 R2? – Kara Marfia Aug 28 '09 at 14:28
Yes. Both R2. I can access firewall settings, server management snapin but Disk Management returns mentioned error. – GrZeCh Aug 28 '09 at 18:49

You need to change the Firewall rules on both machines (NOT only the Hyper-V Server)

Run this command on both machines:

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Remote Volume Management" new enable=yes

GREAT. Updating firewall on both sides was the case. Thank you – GrZeCh Aug 29 '09 at 11:35
I'm still getting this. It was succesfull on my physical machine, but when I executed this command on my Virtual Client, it said: "No rules matched the given criteria". That's translated, since the machine runs Dutch language. – WebDevHobo Oct 1 '10 at 10:14
