I just learnt (the hard way) the correct way to add Hyper-V hosts to SCVMM.<\/p>\n

You\u2026<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. should not use the service account used to run SCVMM admin service.<\/li>\n
  2. should not use your own domain admin or admin level credentials.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Instead you should\u2026<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Create a VMM host management account in AD.<\/li>\n
    2. Add that AD account to the local admin group on all your Hyper-V hosts.<\/li>\n
    3. Add that AD account to your VMM as a \u201cRun As Account\u201d.<\/li>\n
    4. Then while adding a new host to VMM, specify that run as account as the account to be used to add that hyper- host.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Until I did it this way, I was having trouble in VMM. The VMM would lose connectivity to some of the Hyper-V hosts. I was getting this error in VMM:<\/p>\n

      Error (20552)
      \nVMM does not have appropriate permissions to access the resource\u00a0 on the hyperv4p.xxx.xxx server.
      \nRecommended Action
      \nEnsure that Virtual Machine Manager has the appropriate rights to perform this action.<\/p>\n

      Also, verify that CredSSP authentication is currently enabled on the service configuration of the target computer inp2420hyperv4p.nps.doi.net. To enable the CredSSP on the service configuration of the target computer, run the following command from an elevated command line: winrm set winrm\/config\/service\/auth @{CredSSP=”true”}<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      Good luck!<\/p>\n
