Is remote management enabled? The RPC service will respond perfectly fine to connecting remotely through Computer Management, but the Server Manager tool requires that Remote Management is on… and I believe that Hyper-V management uses the same service.

I've had this before… and I don't recall doing anything to fix it. It just started working one day… not sure why…
So, I have a new HyperV server in place. Not clustered… just one of 3 that I have. The 3rd is just used for testing some things… eventually maybe some clustering? Well… here's the deal.
I use Windows 7 and the Server Administration Tools for Windows 7. I can connect to the HyperV server just fine with the HyperV manager. However, I always get the pesky "Cannot connect to the RPC service on computer "blah". Make sure your RPC service is running.
Using the MMC, I can connect to the machone remotely and see that the RPC service is, indeed, running.
Online searching leans towards DNS issues, but there is a DNS entry, and reverse lookup record, for this server in DNS.
Anyone run into this and know how to fix it?
Thanks!
