Useful Hyper-V Configuration


Enabling Remote Desktop

If you installed Hyper-V Core, run this to enable remote desktop:

cscript C:\Windows\System32\Scregedit.wsf /ar 0


To Enable Connections from Non Server 2012 Hosts (Less secure) run:

cscript C:\Windows\System32\Scregedit.wsf /cs 0

(Note - This isn't needed with So You Start Hyper V Core installations)


Enable remote Desktop through the firewall

From Powershell

Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Remote Desktop"
