Can't connect to Hyper-v server 2019

Question

Hi guys,

I installed Hyper-V Server 2019, I enabled Remote management to it, ran the PowerShell commands to enable WSManCredSSP on both server and client along with enabling PSRemoting, but I still get a message saying: "Check that Virtual Machine Management Service is running and you are authorized to connect to the server", I checked and vmms is running and when enabling CredSSP I allowed all users and clients to connect to it, so I don't know why Hyper-V Manager is showing me that message.

Any idea what I'm missing here?

Thanks.

My problem turned out not to be a service, but the user I was using, I created a new user and I was able to connect to it. Thanks anyway.

A little hint for people using Hyper-V in a workgroup environment. Create the same admin user on both machines with the same password, non-expiring. This helps avoid some of the typical access denied and auth issues in networks without a domain.
