I'm trying to use Disk Management (and other typical GUI tools) on my new Hyper-V guest. Seems like a simple request?
When I open Server Manager (from the RSAT tools on my Windows 7 PC) and then select the "Connect to Another Computer" option, and try to connect to my new Hyper-V host, I get an error like: "Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message: the ws- management service cannot process the request..."
After Googling for possible solutions, I see someone says:
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:ServerManager-PSH-Cmdlets
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:BestPractices-PSH-Cmdlets
but when I try to run these commands on my Hyper-V host, I get an error:
PS C:\Users\ccaughlin> dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:ServerManager-PSH-Cmdlets
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.2.9200.16384
Image Version: 6.2.9200.16384
Error: 0x800f0813
DISM failed. No operation was performed.
For more information, review the log file.
The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log
1.) Do I need to successfully run these command in order to use the Server Manager (from the RSAT tool set) or an I just going on a "wild-goose" chase?
2.) How do I diagnose these DISM errors? I think I saw one web site where someone suggested uninstalling/reinstalling DISM. Is that really necessary?
