Installing Hyper-V 2016
-
Hyper-V installer saw my disk, I parsed off 80 GB for Hyper-V and gave the rest to another partition for VMs.
Installation took about 45 mins (iDRAC on this server maxes at 100 Mb/s).Upon first boot, you have to provide an Adminstrator password - Set it and then reboot.
On the second boot I changed the computer name, and reboot.

https://i.imgur.com/egcmcId.pngOddly I was prompted for a new computer name after joining the domain and providing my username/password to complete that. I gave it the same name I already changed to.
It's possible that MS expects that most will need/want a new computer name when joining a domain, so perhaps they just do it by default after you joing a Hyper-V host to a domain, I'm not sure yet.Upon reboot, I logged in as a Domain Admin.

From my Windows 10 pro 1709 machine (with 1709 RSAT tools installed), I'm logged in as a non local admin user, I lauch Hyper-V Manager as a Domain Admin.
Right click Hyper-V Manager in the menu, choose Connect to server choose Another computer:,

Quick search on Google turns up I need to run
powershell Enable-PSRemoting
on the Hyper-V host to allow remote control access.The command requires
powershellat the front unless you launch a powershell prompt on the Hyper-V server.
The command runs fine, I return to Windows 10 and Hyper-V Manager, add it again, and it's there!

Now to open up the needed ports to manage things like Computer Management.

hold 4

Why did you not check the virtualization settings in BIOS prior to doing anything else?
-
Also, just joining to a domain and attempting to manage will not work. You still need to enable a few things int he host system firewall.

-
Also, you need to setup your network team and such all before you go playing with Hyper-V Manager.
-
Then you open Hyper-V manager and setup your vSwitch and your default locations and such.
-
Thyen you can finally worry about creating a VM.
-
You can configure NIC Teaming and all that via "Server Manager" on a Win10 desktop if you want to do it via GUI. Same interface as on Server GUI.

I do not run RSAT on my desktop. I only enable Hyper-V Manager.

When you use the
Network IDto join a domain on Windows 10, Windows will prompt you to change computer name too. -

Windows has done this for a while. Server 2012 at least. Because I am used to it and always change the machine name at domain join time.

Yeah, you can just hit the "No" button.

Thought so.

I did, I verified that virtualization was enabled - though it could have disabled after resetting the BIOS.

There was no button, this was on a text screen on Hyper-v.

Then it offered a choice. most likely hit enter to keep same.

So many steps to go through to get Hyper-V setup. My god.
