Hello All,

So I have recently upgraded my workstation to Win10 and now none of my power shells that I use to manage my hyper-v 2012r2 cluster work.

For example if I run just the simplest command

Get-VM -ComputerName <hyper-v hostname>

Get-VM : The Hyper-V module used in this Windows PowerShell session cannot be used for remote management of the server '<hyper-v hostname>'. Load a compatible version of the Hyper-V module, or use Powershell remoting to connect directly to the remote server. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=532650.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-VM -ComputerName <hyper-v hostname>
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [Get-VM], VirtualizationException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperation,Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.Commands.GetVM

Anyone else seen this and know how to load the older hyper-v modules?

Thanks

Chris

If you perform a search of TechNet, you will find that there have been a number of reported issues with Windows 10 managing downlevel. Some of the posts have some things to try - some have been successful and others have not. Also, since this is a Windows 10 related issue, you might want to take it to a Windows 10 forum. It is not a Hyper-V issue, per se, because management works as designed for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1. The problem services with Windows 10 because of the way Windows 10 is trying to do things.

Here is one post from this forum that shows some success, but don't know if it will work for you - https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1cc9115d-5fce-4a64-a90f-d3fdc008b861/windows-10-build-10240-managing-hyperv-on-2012-r2-datacenter-cannot-connect?forum=winserverhype

Hi Chris,

I dont found there have some related official document about the Windows 10 remotely manage Hyper-V cluster, In previous edition of Windows 2012R2 it need to install the RSAT tool to manage the cluster remotely, but now,  in the latest RSAT tool and the built in Windows feature for Windows 10 it not indicate also support the cluster management.
