So... if I just install Hyper-V Server 2016 WITH the Desktop Experience, I would be able to manage VM's by directly remoting into the server, right? Then I wouldn't have to mess with the Hyper-V Manager in Windows 10..
Well... that's not a product option. To do that you have to buy and install a full Windows Server license, and then that license is tied to Hyper-V. If you od that, then you can admin it locally. But if you are even thinking about that, it's time to be on KVM.
See this is why I am so confused.
- I can go to Microsoft and download Windows Server 2016, which when you install it, has options to install as core or GUI. Either way, I have to pay for a license because it's not free, core or GUI, RIGHT?? - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2016
- I can go to Microsoft and download the "evaluation" of Hyper-V Server 2016, which when I install, has the option to install standard evaluation, or desktop experience evaluation. I can just use the standard no GUI and it's 100% free, RIGHT?? So then what does it matter if I choose to install the free hypervisor with the desktop experience?? - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-hyper-v-server-2016
If both things are separate things, but installing the Desktop Experience means they are the same thing and I have to pay for a license to use Hyper-V, then I don't understand why they are selling them together... or wait is it because they want to rope you into having to pay them money??
Now I am not trying to make assumptions here or not thinking in a sensible GD way. I am just trying to navigate my way through options for installing Hyper-V, having it be free, and having it actually ****ing work.
With Windows Server, you have a lot more roles to choose from, which me you will have to have license. Hyper-V Server does not need a license in order to use it since the main use is to hist VMs.

I am confident he is not using the full server instance based on all his detailed replies.

Wait, when the fuck did they add a GUI to Hyper-V. I do not recall seeing that when I setup my last Hyper-V Server 2016 instance 8 months ago.
I don't know but I swear to God that I saw in three different attempts of installing hyper-v 2016 that there was the second option of having a desktop experience installed.
I'm downloading it now. I have a crappy old desktop that may support it here that i can attempt the initial install on.
Also, this thread is what I did on a defualt AD domain.
https://mangolassi.it/topic/12296/my-experiences-with-hyper-v-server-2016.
about halfway down I posted the firewall rules I enabled and such.

I'm downloading it now too. I do notice the file name is a bit different than the ISO I had downloaded before, about 3 months ago.
- Old file: 14393.0.161119-1705.RS1_REFRESH_SERVER_EVAL_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO
- New file: 14393.0.161119-1705.RS1_REFRESH_SERVERHYPERCORE_OEM_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO
Maybe, just maybe, I am a total fucking idiot and somehow mixed my ISOs up...

This is a different ISO than the one I used in January.

Ok I swear I thought I downloaded the correct ISO. It was directly after I had a conversation with Scott over the phone about my VoIP debacle, and we got into servers and he told me about Hyper-V being completely free and blew my little fucking mind. SO I rushed out to Microsoft and downloaded it, and I know I KNOW I went to the right spot because I was specifically careful to download the file under "Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2016" and not the one for regular Server 2016.
If this was my problem all along then I'm going to owe you all an apology and a beer.

There is Windows Server 2016, and HyperV Server 2016. One you do not use as a hypervisor (even though you can), the other you do.
Don't confuse the two.

If that is a thing, it is so new that I've never seen it. It wasn't in the initial 2016 release.

- I can go to Microsoft and download the "evaluation" of Hyper-V Server 2016, which when I install, has the option to install standard evaluation, or desktop experience evaluation. I can just use the standard no GUI and it's 100% free, RIGHT?? So then what does it matter if I choose to install the free hypervisor with the desktop experience?? - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-hyper-v-server-2016
If both things are separate things, but installing the Desktop Experience means they are the same thing and I have to pay for a license to use Hyper-V, then I don't understand why they are selling them together... or wait is it because they want money??
Now I am not trying to make assumptions here or not thinking in a sensible GD way. I am just trying to navigate my way through options for installing Hyper-V, having it be free, and having it actually ****ing work.
Wait, when the fuck did they add a GUI to Hyper-V. I do not recall seeing that when I setup my last Hyper-V Server 2016 instance 8 months ago.
I don't know but I swear to God that I saw in three different attempts of installing hyper-v 2016 that there was the second option of having a desktop experience installed.
I'm downloading it now. I have a crappy old desktop that may support it here that i can attempt the initial install on.
Also, this thread is what I did on a defualt AD domain.
https://mangolassi.it/topic/12296/my-experiences-with-hyper-v-server-2016.
about halfway down I posted the firewall rules I enabled and such.
I'm downloading it now too. I do notice the file name is a bit different than the ISO I had downloaded before, about 3 months ago.
- Old file: 14393.0.161119-1705.RS1_REFRESH_SERVER_EVAL_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO
- New file: 14393.0.161119-1705.RS1_REFRESH_SERVERHYPERCORE_OEM_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO
Maybe, just maybe, I am a total fucking idiot and somehow mixed my ISOs up...
You are a total idiot based on THAT post.
The first is Server. The second is Hyper-V Server
pfffffhahahahahahahahah... WHAT THE FUCK.
Blame MS for making it confusing as fuck in the name of licensing dollars.
No one will hold it against you.

So... if I just install Hyper-V Server 2016 WITH the Desktop Experience, I would be able to manage VM's by directly remoting into the server, right? Then I wouldn't have to mess with the Hyper-V Manager in Windows 10..
Well... that's not a product option. To do that you have to buy and install a full Windows Server license, and then that license is tied to Hyper-V. If you od that, then you can admin it locally. But if you are even thinking about that, it's time to be on KVM.
See this is why I am so confused.

Half the time looking at an ISO name I can't even figure out what it even is from them!

Yeah this time during installation it didn't give me any install options. Just installing straight Hyper-V... sigh
I never cease to amaze myself at my own ability to constantly screw up due to not paying attention.
Sorry guys and thanks for your help. Thanks for dealing with me.

@dave247 This post is what I had to set for firewall on the Hyper-V Server after joining the domain.
https://mangolassi.it/topic/12296/my-experiences-with-hyper-v-server-2016/10
After that I posted some images of what I did to setup teaming and such.

Great, thanks. I will get on that once the install is finished. I've been working on this for about 3 days now. Unreal.

Yeah I have a HyperV firewall rule in a GPO. Your errors mentioned permissions. But that one said something else I think.
