Is there a way to see the screen of a Hyper-V vm without actually connecting to the vm? Like the small preview screen at the bottom left hand side on the Hyper-V Manager window.

I need to monitor the activity on one of my vm's, but I don't want to disconnect the current user.

Pretty much everything you see in the Hyper-V Manager is fetched through WMI. You can get the screen thumbnail that way, too. Here's a blog post on how to do it:

  • This worked perfectly, thank you. Just the "Msvm_VideoHead" wasn't available so I had to set a custom resolution. – Sam Hearn May 25 '17 at 08:23
