This topic explains the various methods available for managing a computer running Microsoft Hyper-V Server. You can manage the server in the following ways:

Locally and remotely by using Windows PowerShell

Remotely by using Server Manager

Remotely by using Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins

Remotely by using Remote Desktop Services

Task Description
1.1. Manage with Windows PowerShell You can manage Hyper-V Server by using Windows PowerShell locally or remotely.
1.2 Manage with Server Manager By running Server Manager on a remote computer, you can connect to Hyper-V Server.
1.3 Manage with Microsoft Management

Console
1.4 Manage with Remote Desktop By using another computer running the Windows operating system, you can use Remote Desktop Services to run scripts and tools on a
Services computer running Hyper-V Server.
There are some important limitations and tips to keep in mind when you work with Hyper-V Server:

If you close all Command Prompt windows and you want to open a new Command Prompt window, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, click Start Task Manager, click More Details, click
File, click Run, and then type cmd.exe. Alternatively, you can sign out and then sign in.

If you close all Windows PowerShell windows, you can open a new one by typing PowerShell at a command prompt.

Any command or tool that attempts to start Windows Explorer will not work. For example, typing start . at a command prompt will not work.

There is no support for HTML rendering or HTML Help in a Server Core installation.

There are no notifications for activation, new updates, or password expiration because these notifications require the Windows Explorer shell, which is not present.

Hyper-V Server supports Windows Installer in quiet mode so that you can install tools and utilities from Windows Installer files.

When you install Windows Installer packages on Hyper-V Server, use the /qb option to display the basic user interface.

To change the time zone, run

Set-Date

To change international settings, run control intl.cpl.

Control.exe will not run on its own. You must run Control.exe with Timedate.cpl or Intl.cpl.

Winver.exe is not available. To obtain version information, use Systeminfo.exe.

Note
This topic includes sample Windows PowerShell cmdlets that you can use to automate some of the procedures described. For more information, see Using Cmdlets.

1.1. Manage with Windows PowerShell


1.2 Manage with Server Manager
Server Manager is a management console in Windows Server that helps IT professionals provision and manage local and remote Windows-based servers from their desktops. No
physical access to the servers is required, and you do not need to enable Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections to each server.
To enable your local server to be managed by Server Manager that is running on a remote server, run the Windows PowerShell cmdlet

Configure-SMRemoting.exe –Enable

.
Although Server Manager was available in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008, Server Manager was completely redesigned for Windows Server 2012 to support remote,
multiserver management, and to help increase the number of servers an administrator can manage. You must use the version of Server Manager in Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows
Server 2012 or that is available as part of the Remote Server Administration Tools. Older versions of Server Manager will not work. To download these tools, see :

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8.1

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8

1.3 Manage with Microsoft Management Console


1.4 Manage with Remote Desktop Services
You can use Remote Desktop Services to manage a computer running Hyper-V Server.

1. On the computer running Hyper-V Server, run:


cscript C:\Windows\System32\Scregedit.wsf /ar 0
This enables Remote Desktop to accept connections.
2. On another computer, click Start, click Run, type mstsc, and then click OK.
3. In the Computer text box, enter the name of the computer running Hyper-V Server, and click Connect.
4. Sign in by using an administrator account.
5. When the command prompt appears, you can manage the computer by using the Windows command-line tools.
6. When you have finished remotely managing the computer running Hyper-V Server, type logoff at the command prompt to end your Remote Desktop Services session.

Note
If you are running Remote Desktop Services on a client with an earlier version of Windows, you must turn off the higher security level that is set by default in Windows Server. To do this,
after Step 1, type the following command at the command prompt:cscript C:\Windows\System32\Scregedit.wsf /cs 0
