Vista - Create new volume on Hyper-V Server

hi friends, we have a hyper-v server with 2 arrays, 1 in use and other
not used yet, our server is running well but now I need to activate
the second array but Hyper-V does not count with a GUI Disk
Manager.... so, my doubt is.... Do I must create new partitions,
volume, format,etc directly from command line (DISKPART) on Hyper-V
Server? or can I connect a GUI Tool remotely to configure my server's
disks?

Herba98,

You can do this either locally or remotely. You can do this locally as you
expected using diskpart or you can do this remotely using the diskmgmt.msc
snap-in.

However, if you are planning on using MMC snap-in's remotely to manage your
Micosoft Hyper-V server, then you will need to configure your firewall to
allow MMC's to connect. To do so run the follow command from a command prompt
on your Hyper-V server.

Netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="remote administration" new
enable=yes

or you can disable the firewall completely if you choose with this command

Netsh firewall set opmode mode = Disable

But, keep in mind disabling the firewall is not a recommended configuration.
