Comment remotely manage Hyper-V 2016 standalone via Windows 10?

ayi

How do I connect to my Hyper-V 2016 standalone via my Windows 10 laptop?
Background: I’m setting this up as a home lab. J’ai <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53xFqRaqSno&t=340s" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">followed</a> <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/manage/remotely-manage-hyper-v-hosts" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">a</a> <a href="https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/fe80f0aa-0697-4657-a1da-19d36b036698/guide-to-remote-manage-hyperv-servers-and-vms-in-workgroups-or-standalone?forum=winserverhyperv" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">few</a> <a href="https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsdesktop/Hyper-V-Remote-Management-26d127c6" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">guides</a>, but J’ai not yet found a guide/Youtube tutorial that seems to work for the free edition of Hyper-V 2016. This is a “hello world” for Hyper-V standalone, and I can’t find a guide that works for 2016. (Hyper-V 2012 + Windows 8 seems to have some <a href="https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsdesktop/Hyper-V-Remote-Management-26d127c6" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">automated scripts</a> that solve le problème, but not for Hyper-V 2016.)
Context
<ul>
<li>
Server: <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-hyper-v-server-2016" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Hyper-V server 2016 (free, standalone)</a>, fqdn: server.local,
</li>
<li>
Client: Windows 10 Professional
</li>
<li>
Additional Notes
</li>
<li>
Client’s etc/hosts file contains an entry for le serveur’s fqdn
</li>
<li>
Neither client or server are on a workgroup or domain
</li>
<li>
My objective: remotely manage server using client’s Hyper-V Manager
</li>
</ul>
The error
<pre><code class="lang-auto">An error occurred while attempting to connect to server "server.local". Check that the
Virtual Machine Management service is running and that you are authorized to
connect to the server.

Hyper-V encountered an error trying to access an object on computer 'server.local' because
the object was not found. The object might have been deleted. Verify that the Virtual
Machine Management service on the computer is running.

</code></pre>
What J’ai done on le serveur
<pre><code class="lang-auto"># sconfig.cmd: Enable "Configure Remote Management"

sconfig.cmd: Add Local Administrator

sconfig.cmd: Enabled Remote Desktop

Enable-PSRemoting
Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role server
sc start vmms # Is this the "missing object"?
netsh advfirewall set currentprofile state off # Let's try disabling firewall

</code></pre>
What J’ai done on le client
<pre><code class="lang-auto">Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value "server.local"
Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role client -DelegateComputer "server.local"

Changed group policy: "Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Credentials Delegation > Allow delegating fresh credentials with NTLM-only server authentication" by doing: "Click Enable and add wsman/fqdn-of-hyper-v-host."

Disabled firewall

dcomcnfg > COM SECURITY > Access Permissions > Edit Limits > Anonymous Login > ALLOW Remote Access

cmdkey /add:YOURSERVERNAME /user:USERNAMEONTHESERVER /pass:THEPASSWORDOFTHATUSER

</code></pre>
How I triggered l’erreur
On le client:
<ul>
<li>
Launch “Connect to Server”
</li>
<li>
Attempt one: “Set ‘Another computer:’ to ‘192.168.10.2’”
</li>
<li>
Attempt two: “Set ‘Another computer:’ to ‘server.local’”
</li>
<li>
Click “OK”
</li>
<li>
(error: "An error occurred while attempting to connect to server ‘server.local’…)
</li>
</ul>

Found my specific issue <img src="https://forum-microsoft.fr/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=15" title=":slight_smile:" class="emoji" alt=":slight_smile:" loading="lazy" width="20" height="20"> J’étais using an invalid hostname, and the DNS wasn’t resolving properly.
<ul>
<li>
WRONG: server-1.local
</li>
<li>
RIGHT: server-1-local
</li>
</ul>
But on a different note, I also found that the Microsoft doc (<a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/manage/remotely-manage-hyper-v-hosts">Remotely manage Hyper-V hosts with Hyper-V Manager</a>) didn’t document all the instructions necessary for me to make things work. It was mostly correct, but was missing one step. So J’ai attached my manual setup instructions.
See below for my full setup instructions for remotely managing Hyper-V 2016 via Windows 10 Professional. My setup involved two separate physical machines - I install both systems from scratch.
On the Hyper-V server
<ul>
<li>
Install <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-hyper-v-server-2016">Hyper-V Server 2016</a> (via GUI)
</li>
<li>
Set password 
Note : change following in the terminal gui running <code>sconfig</code>
</li>
<li>
Set computer name (e.g. server-1); Note : do NOT use periods
</li>
<li>
Configure remote management (disabled => enabled)
</li>
<li>
Remote Desktop (disabled => enabled)
</li>
<li>
In the Powershell window, run as admin:
</li>
</ul>
Powershell commands:
<pre><code class="lang-auto">Enable-PSRemoting
Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role server

</code></pre>
On the desktop/laptop you’re going to manage Hyper-V remotely
<ul>
<li>
Install Windows 10 Professional/your drivers/your apps (GUI)
</li>
<li>
Change your network adapter setting
</li>
<li>
If on older patches of Windows 10
</li>
<li>
Click Start > Search “Homegroup” > Launch “Homegroup”
</li>
<li>
Click on the link to change network type (public => private)
</li>
<li>
If on newer patches of Windows 10
</li>
<li>
Try this: go to “Start Menu > (type) ‘Ethernet’ > (click) Ethernet adapter > (click) Private”
</li>
<li>
Add a DNS entry in your hostfile (run notepad as Administrator)
</li>
<li>
Edit “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts”
</li>
<li>
Add an entry like “192.168.100.2 server-1”
</li>
<li>
In the Powershell window, run as admin:
</li>
</ul>
Powershell commands:
<pre><code class="lang-auto">Enable-PSRemoting
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value server-1
Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role client -DelegateComputer server-1
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName:Microsoft-Hyper-V -All
cmdkey /add:server-1 /user:Administrator /pass

</code></pre>
Note
The official Microsoft documentation was missing the cmdkey instruction, which registers the login info necessary to get into the Hyper-V server. J’ai trouvé it in a separate doc.
