Remote Hyper-V Server Management

When Windows 2016 Hyper-V server installed, most of firewall rules are set to off, which means you can not open File & Printer Share to the network etc, here are the tip to enable it.

By Powershell:

Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup “Windows Remote Management”

which in turn enables the following:

Remote Service Management
Remote Volume Management
Remote Event Log Management
Remote Scheduled Tasks Management
Remote Volume Management
Windows Firewall Remote Management
Windows Remote Management

or by command:

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=”Remote Administration” new enable=yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=”File and Printer Sharing” new enable=yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=”Remote Service Management” new enable=yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=”Performance Logs and Alerts” new enable=yes
Netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=”Remote Event Log Management” new enable=yes
Netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=”Remote Scheduled Tasks Management” new enable=yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=”Remote Volume Management” new enable=yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=”Remote Desktop” new enable=yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=”Windows Firewall Remote Management” new enable =yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=”windows management instrumentation (wmi)” new enable =yes
net start vds

PS. Even with above command, when remote manage the Hyper V Server thru Remote Disk Management, you will get the error message that “RPC server is unavailable”. To solve the issue, firewall has to be open on both PC.
