Windows 10: HYPER-V Server 2016 - cant connect to server from Windows 10 remote

Not really funny. Ping response is disabled by default on firewall of all server SKUs and that is a fairly sensible thing to do if you think about it.

You can enable it with netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8.

 

Hi there
I'm trying to create a VM on a HYPER-V 2016 server system.

The HYPER-V server installed OK, network seems working and gives IP address 192.168.1.12 and all the DNS stuff seems fine so networking should be OK and enabled remote access on both W10 and the server.

now trying to connect to server from Windows using the HYPER-V management console on W10.

Can't connect -- also windows Ping fails

any idea what's wrong here - I'd love to get this working. Have I missed something that needs to be done after install.

Why is Hyper-V-Manager consuming so much bandwidth?

Hello Jennifer,

Thank you for your support.

The setup is quite simple:

• The Hyper-V Server is a Root-Server in the Internet (not in a domain). It is only managed by myself (whatever that means )
• The server is a "Hyper-V Server 2016" (see e.g. Microsoft Evaluation Center)
• My Notebook connect's via Server Manager (This connection uses 8 kBit/se or less on average)
• When I open Hyper-V (via the Server Manager) it uses 500kBit/s permanently, without even connecting to a VM. Just listing the VMs on the server.

Remote Desktop Connection problem with Virtual Machine

We made the big mistake of configuring a WINDOWS-10 VM to allow for Remote Desktop Connections. We are unable to disassociate the VM from RDM. We can no longer access the VM!!! The following is the pertinenet
information:

• Server is running Windows-10 Professional 64 with Hyper-V installed.
• VM is Windows-10 Professional 64.
• In VM allowed Remote Desktop Connections.
• From server successfully connected to VM via RDM.
• Closed RDM connection. Unable to access VM.
• Turned off VM from Hyper-V Manager.
• Attempted to restart VM, unable to connect via Hyper-V from message box the following is displayed:
  
  Video Remoting was disconnected. The virtual maching is currently using the Remote X 3D video adapter. A user is currently connected via Remote Desktop Connect to the virtual machine by using Remote Desktop Connection.
• Connected via Remote Desktop Connection. Attempted to turn off allowing Remote Desktop Connection. VM hung.
• VM Wouldn't turn off via Hyper-V manager.
• Shutdown host system and rebooted.
• Unable to connect via console or RDM.
• Shutdown host system and rebooted.
• Deleted VM via Hyper-V Manager.
• Restored VM system disk from backup prior to RDM usage.
• Created new VM. the messages in itm 7 above are displayed.

What can be done to recover? Why does Hyper-V retain a broken connection?

 

Remote management must be enabled both on Hyper-V host (server) and client (local machine you use to connect to host). Try executing this cmdlet on an elevated PowerShell:

Enable-PSRemoting

Notice that it must be run, remote management enabled, on both server and client.

 

Found this at Microsoft Docs for additional information: Remotely manage Hyper-V hosts | Microsoft Docs

 

Hi there @Kari

The problem was I was trying to activate the server from a Windows VM running under vmware - the vmware program (vmware workstation) wasn't the issue but I couldn't get any vm services as the VM said "can't activate service as not "VT" enabled.

In machine config (on the remote W10 system) set the "advanced" config to allow VT emulation and it connects fine now.

I suppose I should really test the remote system from a normal physical W10 machine rather than running from a VM (although if it were a VM created on HYPER-V should be OK).

funny thing is I can create the VM now on the HYPER-V server but PING still fails !!!! never had that before. Could be firewalls or whatever. Still not bothering with that issue though. So I'll mark as solved.

Using the HYPER-V server is much better for the VM's -- they work really well - I'm only using for file serving so "bells and whistles" like sound I don't need since things like multi-media I can play on remote TV etc with KODI etc -- I just need the shared files. I tried Esxi but it didn't like my network stuff so I'll stick with HYPER-V server -- you don't need a GUI on the machine with the VM's on it - what would be nice though if starting and stopping VM's could be done from a Phone. (Probably too much spare time this weekend !!).

Note with LINUX VM's you get hugely enhanced I/O rates if you pass phsysical HDD's to them and use the Linux software RAID system - even on slower HDD's. RAID 0 speeds things up hugely - although of course if any 1 Disk in the array fails then you lose the whole kybosh -- HDD's though are reasonably reliable these days and I have plenty of backup.
