Whenever I include a Hyper-V sensor I get a:
Connection could not be established (800706BA: The RPC server is unavailable - Host: x.x.x.x, User: user, Password: **, Domain: ntlmdomain:contoso) (code: PE015)
I thought this would be a firewall issue but I have the firewall turned off. The services are running on the server too. Any idea what could be causing this error?
