Enabling remote management for Hyper-V in workgroup environments


Hyper-V Manager allows the administrators to manage the Hyper-V server and the virtual machine, using a GUI interface, which is installed automatically on the Hyper-V servers. The Hyper-V Manager supports remote management, in case you have Hyper-V Server or Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V to use the same tool. This provides the same functionality as the one used in the server. This tool can be used from another Windows Server 2012 or a Windows 8 client with the Hyper-V Manager tool installed.

In workgroup scenarios, there is no single sign on available and additional permissions and configurations have to be enabled to allow remote connections using Hyper-V Manager.

This recipe will guide you through the steps to setup both computers to have the Hyper-V Manager enabled remotely in workgroup scenarios.
