Remote Desktop to Hyper V Windows Server

Hi,
By default installation of Hyper V - Windows Machine, you cannot access the machine with Remote Desktop (mstsc.exe)

There are mainly 2 steps in order to resolve this: (My case was Windows Server 2008 R2 machine)
- Allow RDP connections to Virtual machine
- Turn on Network Discovery

In order to do that, you need to do following:
- Connect to machine with Hyper v
- Right click My Computer - Properties
- Click on Remote Settings on the right hand side
- Set "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop"
- Run "services.msc"
- Here be sure that the below services are enabled and running:
  • DNS Client
  • Function Discovery Resource Publication
  • SSDP Discovery
  • UPnP Device Host
- Open Network and Sharing Center (Just search on Start bar)
- Click "Change Advanced Sharing Settings"
- Select "Turn on Network Discovery"
-After you clicked OK, recheck if it is set correctly, because depending on the services above, it might not be running.

That't s all !

Now you can connect to your Hyper V machine with RDP
