Im trying to manage it with my laptop (server and client in workgroup) I know the ridiculous amount of steps you had to go throuoght to enable remote management with hyperv installed on server core but this is a different kettle of fish all toghether. The same procedurs dont work simply because those parts of the OS are not present in the standalone hyperv. The error i get is 'cant connect to remote host, make sure the vmm service is running or something to that effect. Ive spent days searching the net for any info but havent found any. I am going to attempt to rebuild the hyperv and see if that magically fixes anything. It seems that MS are forcing you into domain membership with your host and management pc's and if that is there strategy, good luck is all i can say, equivalent products in the market dont seem to have such limitations. They need to fix hyperv in the future if they want to compete. I laughed when i read a blog the other day about 'hyper, the windows you know and love' yeah the one that is harder to manager, takes longer to install/deploy/configure than others i.e ESX. I thought it was extermely funny that when i had finished the setup part of the hyperv server it said preapring dektop for 2 minutes and all i got was a dos window :). but i am giving it a go.
