Additionally, the Hyper-V Manager tool is native to Windows 8 and above (since
Hyper-V is built into Windows 8 and above) via the Programs And Features Control
Panel applet ➣ Turn Windows Features On Or Off ➣ Hyper-V Management Tools, as
shown in Figure 5.5. The RSAT adds tools, such as Server Manager and the Microsoft
Management Console (MMC) tools, which all support full remote management.
Additionally, the RSAT adds the various PowerShell modules to enable remote
PowerShell management.

Nano Server remote management is not just advised but necessary, because of the
absence of any local console and because many Server Core users wish to use a GUI
despite the presence of the local command shell, PowerShell, and SCONFIG (a text-
based menu for many configurations and activities). If you want to manage machines
that are in a workgroup or other domain without a trust, you need to add them as a
trusted host, which removes the authentication of the remote computer. The easiest
way to do this is by using PowerShell. The following code fetches the current content
and then adds a new set of hosts—in this case, every machine in savilltech.net:


$trusthosts = (Get-Item -Path WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts).Value
Set-Item -Path WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts `
"$trusthosts, *.savilltech.net" -Force
