I'm having trouble connecting my Hyper-V Server manager on a windows 8.1 client to a remote Server 2012R2 Hyper-V Server. The Client is on a domain and the server is in a workgroup outside the network. When I try to add the server I'm getting the error:
RPC server unavailable. Unable to establish communication between [SERVER] and [CLIENT]"
Here are the steps I've taken so far:
- Added the remote server as a trusted host to the client machine
- added credentials for the remote server to the client using
cmdkey /add:[SERVERFQDN] /user:[SERVERHOSTNAME]\[USER] /pass:[PASSWORD] - Ran winrm quickconfig on the server
- Manually set DCOM permission to allow anonymous logon on the client and the server
- Added the hostname of the server to the client's hosts file
- Rebooted the server
- Added the local administrator on the server to the Hyper-V Administrator's group
- Both firewalls were off during testing
I've downloaded and run hvremote /show /target:[SERVERFQDN] and can see that there is a problem:
- Connect to root\virtualization WMI namespace
FAIL - Connection attempt failed
- Have you run hvremote /add:user or hvremote /add:domain\user
on the remote computer to grant access?
- Are you sure the computer name has been entered correctly?
- Are you sure the remote computer is running Hyper-V?
On the server I've run hvremote /add:"CLIENTDOMAIN\MY LOGIN" and get the following error:
***** GetTrustee Failed: CLIENTDOMAIN\MY LOGIN not found
***** If [DOMAIN] is a domain, you need to be connected to the domain for this to work
At this point I'm at a loss. What steps have I missed? Any tips or help anyone could give would be really appreciated.
