This appears to be Windows Firewall related. Refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/msdn-technet-forums/268cd630-7fa3-49c8-a98e-21c458c7b7bb for resolution

Answer 2

Make sure you have (4) Remote Management enabled. You can quickly check that by running the config on the server shell.

You may still encounter various problems using classic RSAT tools like Hyper-V Manager while administering a Hyper-V 2019 machine because they all rely on WinRM. I prefer using the new Windows Admin Center, which runs Powershell under the hood, for that purpose. It can be installed directly onto the Hyper-V 2019 server and is web-based, so it doesn't require a Windows-based machine and can be used from almost any device, like a phone or tablet.

Hi Kamyar,

Thanks for your post. Generally speaking, Hyper-V Manager doesn't list any computers that host Hyper-V until you add the computer, including a local computer. To do this:

1. In the left pane, right-click Hyper-V Manager.
2. Click Connect to Server.
3. From Select Computer, click Local computer and then click OK.

If you can't connect:

• It's possible that only the Hyper-V tools are installed. To check that Hyper-V platform is installed, look for the Virtual Machine Management service. /(Open the Services desktop app: click Start, click the Start Search box, type services.msc, and then press Enter. If the Virtual Machine Management service isn't listed, install the Hyper-V platform by following the instructions in Install Hyper-V.
• Check that your hardware meets the requirements. See System requirements.
• Check that your user account belongs to the Administrators group or the Hyper-V Administrators group. Hi Kamyar, Thanks for your post. Generally speaking, Hyper-V Manager doesn't list any computers that host Hyper-V until you add the computer, including a local computer. To do this:
