John,
Thank you for all the great information, however, I am still having problems. I am running Hyper-V on Server Core and I am trying to access it from a workstation running Vista SP1 with the Hyper-V console installed. Both computers are added to the same domain and both computer have my domain username added as a member of the local administrators group. I applied the Hyper-V RC0 update to the install.wim file, I then installed server core using the updated wim. I am getting the "don't have requested permission" error on my workstation. What is interesting is that the first time I opened the management console, it worked and I was able to configure my virtual switches. Now it won't let me change any settings. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ryan Lenkersdorfer
I too have experienced a difference between the first run of the Hyper-V mmc UI from my Vista managment and the subsequent runs. Specifically I need to change the path to where the Virtual Hard Drives are to be stored and located; howver, I'm unable and am getting a message:
---------------------------
Remote File Browser
---------------------------
You may not browse the local file system when connecting to a remote Hyper-V server.
---------------------------
OK
-------------------------
going through step 14 above - the \ProgramData directory (as part of the path to the InitialStore.xml) is apparently a Hidden directory as it isn't directly browsable. I did a search and then copied the path; however, you can simple cut and paste the path from Step 14 instructions or type it out.
Thanks John. I now have a Windows Server 2008 Core DC, a Windows server 2008 NAP, a windows Server 2003 exchange 2007 sp1 server all in the same Core Hyper-v black box.
A complete network for testing and funny.
I do hope this issues are RC0 related, though. I'll stay tuned to your blog.
You deserve a good italian pizza! :)
Hi John,
I get to step 13 fine, however when I connect to the WMI Control, it connects fine, but the "Security" tab contains only the "Root" and no namespaces below this.
Any ideas why?
(Server is WS2K8 Ent Core with Hyper-V RC0 and guest is Vista x86 SP1 with RSAT and Hyper-V Management tools loaded.)
Thanks for the lesson. Everything you showed worked fine for me as far as you went, but when I go to add my first virtual machine I get an error that the Wizard cannot load because I do not have permission. Did I miss a step?
Actually I can move the error message box to one side and navigate the wizard, but when I hit finish it throws another permissions error and I am forced to acknowledge and close the wizard. Any thoughts?
Thanks again for getting me this far.
Remote management of Server Core installations helps you. It prevents you from having to struggle with
As a matter of fact I ran the vbs script on the server in the first place.
After I edited the initial store XML file, I reimported it into AZMan (deleting the previous initial store entry).
When I look in AZMan at the "Administrator" role assignment I see my specified domain\username listed as a "user" type right under the "Administrators(BUILTIN\Administrators)" group.
I am conected to the hyperv server and see the "No virtual machines were found..." message. It just seems I am missing whatever permission is needed to create new VMs.
So far, I’ve covered the following Hyper-V Remote Management scenarios: Workgroup: Vista client to remote
I have the same problem as HiltonT above, where I open the WMI Control Properties Security Tab and expanding the "Root" node displays nothing. The "plus" sign button goes away and no child of "Root" ever appears.
All the steps leading up to that point were fine and I can connect via RDC and I can browse to the administrative shares in the file explorer. I just can;t seem to get any of the "root" children.
Any ideas?
