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

macnamee has given the correct answer for users running the English OS version, those with other locales will have to check the Windows Firewall with advanced settings for the translated name of "Remote Volume Management", eg. "Extern Volumebeheer" in Dutch.
