When remotely managing virtual machines on a Hyper-V server, the client version should match the server version to keep pace with the changes and updates to Hyper-V. Using Windows 8 to manage Hyper-V 2012, for example, results in access to the full feature set but provides only a reduced set of Hyper-V 2012 R2 features. On the other hand, Hyper-V Manager on Windows 7 may not be able to connect to a Hyper-V 2012 R2 server at all. Here's how to set up Hyper-V manager on Windows 8 or 8.1.
Setting up Hyper-V is rather simple and everything needed is included in the Windows 8 installation.
Start by right-clicking on the Start Menu.
Select Programs and Features.
Click Turn Windows features on or off on the left hand side of the window.
Click the checkbox next to Hyper-V and click OK.
When the install is complete, click Restart now to restart the computer.
After the computer restarts, Hyper-V Manager can be found under Administrative Tools.
In Hyper-V Manager, right-click on Hyper-V Manager and select Connect to Server... to connect to the Hyper-V server. That's it... now you can remotely manage Hyper-V severs and their VMs.
