Server Core remote management from Windows 7 machine
- by Robert Koritnik
I've installed Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 because I would like to administer my Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Core machine.
The problem that I'm getting when I try to run Server Manager is:
Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message: Access is denied. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
This is what I've done so far:
I'm running WinRM service on both machines (Server and Window 7)
I've added my server to trusted hosts on my Windows 7 machine:
winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="WINSRV2"}
I've added registry entry on Windows 7 machine:
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
I've enabled Remote Management inbound rule on server firewall using CoreConfigurator 2.0
both machines are in the same subnet and when I search for network machines on Windows 7 I see my server.
Question
What else should I do to make it work? I would like to run several different remote management tools against my server machine.
