hyper-v no authority could be contacted for authentication

Message:

In the Hyper-V Manager console I was attempting to open a Virtual Machine
Connection window on my Vista (32-bit) workstation that has the SP1
Management Pack. When I am in the console I can see that the virtual machine
that I am attempting to connect to is running and online. I can even connect
to this Server 2003 virtual machine through Remote Desktop without any
problem. The Hyper-V host server has also just been recently upgraded to the
RTM version of Hyper-V.

In the Hyper-V settings I have also unselected the "use the default
credentials" option so that when I attempt to connect to a virtual machine
from the console it always asks for credentials. The account that I am using
is a domain administrator. After I select the virtual machine I go to the
actions pane and click on the "connect" button. I enter my domain
administrator credentials and then a message box pops up stating the
following:

"No authority could be contacted for authentication. For assistance,
contact your system administrator or technical support"

Has anyone seen this before and if so what is the resolution. Please help.

There are lots of problems running the management console from Vista.
John Howard has a series of articles of getting it to work in his blog,
starting here.

thanks for the response. I did refer to that blog when I did not have the
permissions to create a VM at all. I did get past that point, now I just
can't view the VM when I am in the Hyper-V Management console.

Hi there,

as the hyper-v manager asks for credentials by connecting to one of it's guests, try with the local administrator account of your hyper-v host machine. it'll work ;-)

dunno what couses it, we're currently pursuing this problem...
