I just rent a windows 2016 server core that is located in a datacenter. I want to manage this server from my home computer. I can easily connect to it via remote desktop, however I need to access the computer management snap in (that as far as i know their is no way to access it via the remote desktop or command line or powershell) :

enter image description here

So i try to click on "connect to another computer ...", enter the IP address of the server and i receive this error message

enter image description here

And here i m :( I even try to disconnect the firewall on the server (Set-NetFirewallProfile -Profile Domain,Public,Private -Enabled false) but it's didn't help :(

So what is the exact procedure to follow to connect the computer management snap in to another computer ? I need to access from the computer management snapin the "device manager" and the "disk management"

NOTE:

I m able to connect using server manager

enter image description here

(for this i added the ip of the server in the trusthost) but as soon as i try to access the computer management (even from server manager) i have the previous error :(

thanks you by advance

I don't have enough points to comment.

What's the version of Windows at Home?. It works only on Windows 10 professional/Enterprise or Windows Server and you need to install RSAT tool.Download from Microsoft website.

Check this video on youtube ,How to enable RSAT after installation.

  • windows 8.1 professional. Not sure what to do to enable and set up remote management access of the server core. I did it via sconfig (Enable remote management). winrm e winrm/config/listener return me the http listener. I also deactivate the firewal didn't help – loki Jun 28 '18 at 16:21
