I am trying to connect to Hyper-V Server 2012 with Windows 10 Hyper-V manager.

The Hyper-V server is not in a domain and the Windows 10 Pro is in a domain.

Following this guide does not work. I am getting the following error:

This version of the Hyper-V Management Tools cannot be used to manage servers running Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2 as another user.

Googling around couldn't find a solution.

Anyone encountered the same issue and found a solution?

Thanks!

It is not possible. The reason is already in both the error message:

This version of the Hyper-V Management Tools cannot be used to manage servers running Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2 as another user.

and the Remotely manage Hyper-V hosts with Hyper-V Manager article you linked in your question:

Connect to a Windows 2016 or Windows 10 remote host as a different user

Note: This will only work for Windows Server 2016 or Windows 10 remote hosts.

I don't know if anyone can state this more clearly...

Solutions:

  • Join both to an AD domain and use the same user.
  • Use RDP and run Hyper-V Manager on the server.
  • Upgrade to Windows Server 2016.
