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
