I successfully used HVRemote to connect from Windows 8 Pro to Windows Server 2012. I found a few caveats however, and am left with one question.
1) Since my Win 8 machine had hyper-v features installed, most client side commands had to specify /mode:client.
2) Probably not a common issue, but my Norton 360 firewall would block async notifications. Once I added a rule to allow all traffic on the local subnet, all was well. (This is for a home network. Security is not a major issue.)
3) I had to convert my account to a local account as opposed to being paired with a Microsoft account.
This is my question. When I connect from a Microsoft account, it connects to the hyper-v server as the email address. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to create a matching user on the server. You can't create a user name with an @ in it. Note that both of these machines are workgroup machines. For now, I've converted to a local account and everything works, but I'd like to upgrade this.
Thanks for any suggestions.
