Yep, had problems connecting to a a HV host on 2012R2.
Don't remember where I read it , Technet maybe, it's a known issue. Gave up in the end and installed Probus-IT Hyper-V Manager

haha brilliant and with no copy and paste with vmware that would realy have to be typed out if you were in situation say where RSAT was not available for your current os. I assume its possible to do a remote connection with a powershell from a non domain laptop for example.
I thought of a scenario where core server would just fail, is if you had it on your dcs and there was a problem that prevented them from starting up (say in a server shutdown window) and you had no access to remote management to diagnose the problem due to the DC being down. Only having the physical terminal access via powershell to diagnose the problem would be impossible, as it comes with no event logs nothing. Then what?
