Enabling remote management for Hyper-V in workgroup environments

Hyper-V Manager allows the administrators to manage the Hyper-V server and the virtual machine, using a GUI interface, which is installed automatically on the Hyper-V servers. The Hyper-V Manager supports remote management, in case you have Hyper-V Server or Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V to use the same tool. This provides the same functionality as the one used in the server. This tool can be used from another Windows Server 2012 or a Windows 8 client with the Hyper-V Manager tool installed.
