Vista - Cannot manage an Hyper-V on Core from a full installed W2K8 with Hyper-V...

Hi,

I'm turning round in understanding why I get this message when I try to
manage an Hyper-V installed on a Core version from a full installation of
W2K8 :

From Hyper-V Manager, I can manage the local Hyper-V but when I add the Core
Server, I've got this message in the VM windows: The Virtual Machine
Management Service is not available...
When in the Actions pane I click on Start Service, nothing happen!

Both machines are in the same Domain.

I've turned on Windows Update and KB950050 is installed, I've turned off the
Firewall to be sure that nothing was blacked...

On the Core machine I see 2 services :
Microsoft Hyper-V Image Management Service
Microsoft Hyper-V Networking Management

On the full install I see 3 services :
Hyper-V Image Management Service
Hyper-V Networking Management Service
Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management

Beside the difference in names, I wondered if the Virtual Machine Management
service need to be installed on core and if yes, how I can do that!

Thanks for your help

See the excellent series of blog posts from John Howard. There are five in
the series, covering slightly different scenarios. Here's the link to the
first:
http://blogs.technet.com/jhoward/arc...putername.aspx

One of them, if I recall correctly, covers Server Core. There are several
steps to getting server Core working correctly (and disabling the firewall
isn't one of them!) You'll need to enable remote management, for one.

Thanks for the link but I've allready gone thru them.
I thought that I could have missed a step so I double checked it...

I've got all machines in the same domain and that I'm testing with the
domain admin account So according to part 4 it should work out of the box!
The difference is that I don't use a Vista client but that I connect from

I'haven't got a permission error but a "Service not available" error.

So if somebody that as a core Hyper-V running could check the number of
Hyper-V services running could help.

Thanks for your help
