I have the hyper-v stand alone server installed but I seem unable to connect to it. I have installed a remote manager, but it does not seem to let me connect to the server.

The most I have achieved is to connect using remote desktop, but this just gives me the same view of the limited text menu I get directly from the computer hyper-v is loaded onto.

I see no way to actually install a virtual ma

Hey,

Have you checked if the roles and features are actually isntalled? :)

You can do this with powershell, either by remote or directly.

Remote powershell:

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName IP_Address/FQDN -Credential FQDN\Username
Get-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V

Directly you first write powershell in the CMD window, to get powershell started.

Then run the Get-WindowsFeature command.

If the Hyper-V role is not installed, use the Install-WindowsFeature command:

Install-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V -IncludeAllSubFeature -IncludeManagementTools

Hope this helps! :) 

PS: Make sure virtualization is enabled in BIOS on that machine you're installing Hyper-V on.

I am for sure doing something wrong.  I tried the get-windows and the install-windows commands and both say no such command.

I also got a list to display of powershell commands and those are not on it!
