This is a truly weird one, which I think I've narrowed down to the specific machine.
I have two HyperV servers running Windows Server 2012 R2, both hosting a few VMs and doing replication between them. When I sign into Hyper-V Manager on my desktop (Windows 10) machine, I can connect to one server but not the other.
If I remote desktop to one of the servers, I can use Hyper-V Manager on the server to connect to the other just fine. This works both ways, ie. both servers can see and control each other's VMs using Hyper-V Manager.
I am logging in with the same user on all machines, so it's not a specific user permissioning issue that I can tell.
I am also able to log in using a different Windows 10 desktop and my own username, so I don't think it's a firewall issue either.
The specific error is "You do not have the required permission to complete this task. Contact the administrator of the authorization policy for the computer 'XXXX'".
Bizarrely, from the same desktop machine I can use Server Manager to view and admin the server that won't let me connect to the VMs. I can even start/stop services using Server Manager, so I've got lots of permissions!
Any idea where to look? Is there a ban list for specific machines that a server holds for example? I've never seen something this odd before.
