While setting up a Hyper-V server for Wayne and Justin to work with some VMs to troubleshoot the SBS 2003 to 2008 replication error, we ran into a roadblock with getting the Hyper-V Manager connected to the Hyper-V Server 2008 box:
Virtual Machines
Access denied. Unable to establish communication between ‘Hyper-V Server’ and ‘Hyper-V Manager’.
This is puzzling since the workstation has been connected to this particular Hyper-V server many times using other network profiles. The profile we created for the Microsoft folks was seemingly giving us the connection issue.
The fix took a bit of searching to find and needed to be accomplished on the Windows Vista system where the Hyper-V Manager was installed:
- Close the Hyper-V Manager
- Click Start and type: %windir% [Enter].
- A Windows Explorer window will open to the Windows directory.
- Type: dcomcnfg in the Search Windows field at the top right hand of the Explorer window.
- You will see the following in your search results:
- Right click on dcomcnfg and Run As Administrator.
- Authenticate with the local admin credentials if UAC prompts for credentials, or Continue if it does not.
- Open the Component Services node, then the Computers node, then right click on My Computer and click on Properties.
- Click on the COM Security tab.
- You will see the following:
- Click the Edit Limits button under Access Permissions.
- Enable Remote Access for Anonymous Logon
- Before and after shot:
- Click Apply and OK.
- Close the Component Services console and the Windows Explorer window.
- Start the Hyper-V Manager and continue through the UAC.
The virtual machines, if any, will show up in the Hyper-V Manager console after that.
Thanks to Augusto Alvarez for the clearest and exact explanation for the fix:

This is a great guide. Thanks a million.
By the way, it also works on Windows 7.
Thank you for this informative post. It solved my problem.
Thank you, it worked perfectly.
Wow! Thank you so much. Worked amazingly! I wonder what kind of security effects this has, if any.
Bradley,
I am not sure where the conflict arrises from.
We do have things buttoned down quite tightly via Group Policy, so there may be something there.
You are welcome to all!
Philip
This is great, you saved me a lot of time.
How did you figure THAT out? Well done, you saved me tons of time.

Wow!Right at it! For three days I was installing and testing hypervisors. Citrix's did not discover half of my hardware, Vmware's - the other half, then came management issues. I knew from the beginning that I shoud stick to Microsoft, but the lack of a nice management console tripped me. Read about Admin Tools. FRESH installed Win 7 RTM 32 bit. Got this "Access Denied" Error.Decided that, because I have Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, I should manage it through a 64 bit OS. Installed Win 7 64bit. Got the error again. Was just about to erase everything and go back to vmware, when I read your detailed, step-by-step description. Decided to give it a try just befire hiting Enter on "Format" - litterally! And ... guess what - IT WORKED! :-) Thank you for taking your time to post such nice things here! You saved 4-days of nerves being wasted in vain. (Sorry for the long post - got emotional)
Yeah, didn't work too well for me. Still getting the same error.

Please help.

Hi,
After I reinstalled my Windows 7 machine I was not able to connect anymore and received the error: ""Access denied. Unable to establish communication between..."
After changing the DCOM setting I was able again to vonnect to my Hypervisor. I did this previously, nut I compltely forgot about it.
So thank you very much for this great article.
Cheers, Jan
This helped fix my issue! Thanks for sharing.
Wouldn't have been able to fix my problem without this guide. Was really stumped. One of the clearest, most helpful posts I've ever used. Thanks
Thank you!!!
Just when I was about the pull ouy my VMware 5.1 install disk, I found this blog entry. I am using the Hyper-V 2012, free edition and Windows 8 Hyper-V Manager and it solved my problem.
Thank You, Thank You!!!
Thanks!! You Rock!! Love Google and people like you that post these fixs.
BTW also still an issue between Windows 8 and server 2012 thanks so much you have helped me not want to tear my hair out!
I officially love you! I have spent days trying to get round this problem!
I kiss you on both cheeks! :O)
Philip - yet again you're da man. We tried fiddling around with hvremote and couldn't get remote access to work, but this solved the problem. Thanks a bunch.
Problem solved, thanks.
bless you !
Great. Now you opened your computer so that you allow anonymous login to your PC. Both localy and by RAS. Great work.
To the above post: Proof of concept please?
Let us know how exactly one could utilize this bit to make changes on a remote system.
Philip
Great.. It works...
It is great. Thanks a lot.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You rock. Thanks.
You rock, thank you!
Works fine on a Windows 8,1 system.
Everything been working fine but then I installed some updates yesterday (windows update) and Hyper-v gave me this error :-(
Thanks HEAPS!!!!
I used this method on Windows 8 after installing RSAT and it resolved Hyper-V manager connecting to the Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V server.
Thanks for the tip. Applied in Windows 7 Enterprise with SP1 after adding Hyper-V tools feature.
Awesome! Thanks a bunch.
Had to do this too on Windows 8.1 Enterprise. Thanks!
I had to do this to get Hyper-V Manager working on Windows 7 Professional. Theres's no domain, just my personal HP server at home. Worked like a charm! Thanks so much man!!
Thanks, it works in Windows 8 as well.
merci pour l astuce great thank
rabi
I was stuck with this issue for hours and then found this blog. Thank you so much! Cheers!
Chris
Thanks
I'm reviving an old post only to say, I found this link and got my Hyper-V to work between Windows 8.1 pro / Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.
Just want to say thanks a lot !
Regards,
Still Works!! Used this to establish connection between Win 8.1 and Hyper-V server 2012r2
Works! Thank you!
Extraordinary !!!!
Thanks
thx
Appreciate the help! The guide was perfectly on target!
Thx
Thanks!!! Worked.
In my case, my user had for some reason lost the read/write permissions to the following registry keys.
1. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM
2. HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2\Parameters
You can also launch “dcomcnfg” through “Run”. (WIN + R)
Sweet! Thanks guys.
Can confirm that this also works with Windows 8.1 and will also likely work with 10....
Thank you for the post!!
Thanks - it also works with Win 10.
Thanks.. This worked for me as well...
Thanks, works with win10 as well.
Thank you very much. I've been trying from a week to solve this problem.
great thanks worked great for me too.
Great work. Thank you. VC @ Cali
Excellent!
Thank you, great tut. Is this caused by Windows Updates?
It doesn't work on Windows 10 1709. Holy crap on M$!
why doesn't work on Windows 10 1709 and 1803 ???
NOTE: This "fix" allows for anonymous access thus the block in later versions of Windows 10 I think.
One way to do this is to run as a Standard User on the management machine so as to credential with UAC using admin credentials. That will allow for a secure way of accessing the remotely managed Hyper-V.
Or, set up a Privileged Access Workstation which is an even better practice!
Muchas gracias me sirvió muchísimo, Saludos desde México.
