MMC and Server Manager Authentication Errors - Access Denied
- by Vazgen
I'm trying to connect remotely from my Windows 8 client to manage my Hyper-V Server 2012. I have done everything I can find to configure remote management of the server including:
Added a net user on server
Enabled anonymous dcom access on server and client
Added firewall rules for "Windows Firewall Remote Management" and "Windows Management
Instrumentation (WMI)" on server
Added firewall exception on server for client IP
Added cmdkey on client
Added server to TrustedHost list on client
Added LocalAccountTokenFilter policy registry entry on server
Added client IP to server's host file
Added server IP to client's host file
I cannot believe I am still getting these errors. What's even more strange is that I can connect in Hyper-V Manager and create VM's but not in MMC and Server Manager.
I also get Access Denied trying to Open the Authorization Store on my server from my client using Authorization Manager. I'm providing all the errors because I have a feeling they root from the same problem.
Does anybody see anything I missed?
