Vista - Hyper-v scvmm on vista64 issue

Hi there,
problem: I can't remote admin to my server.

I have installed fresh install of Hyper-v 2008 R2 in one machine (server)
setup:
workgroup
IP and DNS
Administrator account- password
firewall
mmc
powershell
remote desktop
--------
I have installed scvmm in vista 64 to be able to remote to the server.
both server and vista 64 are on the same network.
when I try to connect I was always getting this error:

1) Verify that 192.168.1.xxx is online and accessible from your computer.
2) If a firewall is enabled on 192.168.1.xxx, ensure that it is not blocking
requests for TCP port 8100.

then I installed the vista vm snap-in, downloaded and installed
'Windows6.0-KB952627-x64.msu'

tried to connect and failed again.
by the way I can remote desktop to the server with no problem.
I have tried doing lot of things without a luck, I created a different user
in the server(not the admin) and gave it admin rights, the user is the same
user in my vista64 (no luck)
one thing I'm not sure about, the vista users created in a domain (so they
are not a workgroup users) in other words they are user01.namespace
when I try to create the same user in the server, it kept asking me about
joining a domain (which makes sense), the only way I can do it is to create
the "user01" in the server and try to connect (which I'm failing) as I
mentioned above.

so my configuration is (domain user from vista) trying to administer and
connect to Hpyer-v core server installation R2 runs in workgroup.

can anybody help please?

Hi Roger:
I forgot to mention that I'm using hvremote.wsf developed by John Howard.
also Vista 64 SP1 (just in case you need to know that)

so in your reply did you mean to do this?
cscript hvremote.wsf /anondcom:grant

according to John Howard instructions, I do that only in the client, I will
make sure I do that in the server too.

if you are familiar with John Howard script configuration, then the error
that I'm getting as for now is only in the client and it is like that:

Test 3
******* Failed to connect to root\cimv2
******* Error: -2147024891 access is denied
******* Namespace: root\cimv2 FAIL - was unable to connect

this really should be simple and straight forward connection from a client
to a server to administer and create virtual machines.
I don't know why this is so complicated process and in the same time with
enabling one step in the server has let me get in to the server completely
with Remote Desktop!!!! Which is much more unsecure!!!

I spent most of Labor day weekend to fix this without any luck!! and I read
blogs about lot of people struggling the same way!!

Thanks for your help
