Brows filesystem on hyper-v from explorer

I have just installed a Hyper-V 2012 R2 server, configured it, added it to my domain, added users to its local administrators Group and added it to my hyper-v manager.

I have nop problems with adding a switch and servers, but I am not able to brows the hyper-v servers filesystem from my computer with Explorer using \\Hyper-vname\c$  Is it a Firewall rule I need to change? If yes Which one?

The hidden admin share is disabled by default.

Add-WindowsFeature FS-FileServer

This powershell command enables just enough to turn on the hidden admin share and nothing more.

The command did Work, but I am sad to say that I have gone away from Hyper-V and over to VMware 5.5.1
