Error Trying to Remotely Manage Hyper-V 2012 from Windows 8 Pro Without a Domain
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.
