Hey guys!
Got a very weird one for ya! So the details:
- Server 2012R2 Hyper-V Core
- Microsoft remote management document followed to enable remote access
- John Howard's HVRemote config utility run several times
- Manually opened ports, enable firewall rules, DCOM permissions, remote permissions, etc, etc
- Installed COREFIG (for 2012, not 2008 version), open source Hyper-V management utility to verify all is enabled and working.
- Changed RPC dynamic ports to 50000-50100 to no avail
What works:
- Remote server management works (user, groups, event logs, disk management, etc)
- Can RDP into host machine, no problem.
- Can see file shares localy and over the web
- Can use third party software (Corefig and 5nine Manager) to control machine
What doesn't work:
- Hyper-V manager
However, install 5nine manager (free client) and have full admin control over host (create VM's, start/stop/pause, VLAN management, etc)
Even if I disable software and hardware firewall's, no change. The Hyper-V manager will not connect with error "RPC server unavailable"
What's even weirder, if I start the Hyper-V manager, I get the RPC error. If I then click the "refresh" button (on the right Actions panel) it then connects and shows me status, but I cannot change or interact with anything. It's almost like it's ignoring the RPC error and trying to connect anyway.
I have spent weeks on this and am no closer to a solution. If it wasn't for the 5Nine Hyper-V FREE client, I'd be seriously boned! :P
Any advice would be welcome, and thanks in advance.
:D
