I have Hyper-V setup on a Windows 10 machine. I want to enable remote management from my Windows 7 machine. I have setup the same user account on both machines, but when I try to connect from Windows 7 Hyper-V, it says "The operation on computer 'Server' failed".

Any idea what else I can do to set this up? I have searched and can't find instructions on setting up remote management for Hyper-V.

You cannot manage Windows 10 Hyper-V from Windows 7. The MSDN article Manage Remote Hyper-V Hosts with Hyper-V Manager states that you need another Windows 10 client to do so:

Hyper-V Manager in Windows 10 allows you to manage the following Hyper-V hosts:

  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows 8
  • Windows Server 2012 R2 + Windows Server Core, Datacenter, and Hyper-V Server
  • Windows 2012 + Windows Server Core, Datacenter, and Hyper-V Server

Hyper-V Manager in Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 allow you to manage:

  • Windows 8
  • Windows Server 2012 R2 + Windows Server Core, Datacenter, and Hyper-V Server
