Dashboard
The Hyper-V Dashboard is shown in the Dashboard panel when you select a Hyper-V connection in the Navigation panel.
Features
- List of all hosted Hyper-V guests (or instances) and their state.
- Grid search and customization, including sort, filter and group.
- Start, Pause, Save State and Shut Down Hyper-V guests directly from the Dashboard.
- Add a new Remote Desktop connection based on the original settings combined with the guest properties.
Royal TS assumes the guest name as the host name for the new connection.
- Add a new Hyper-V Instance connection based on the selected guest.
Royal TS creates a new Remote Desktop connection configured to connect directly to the Hyper-V guest.
- Connect (Ad Hoc) allows you to connect directly to the selected Hyper-V guest.

The Hyper-V connection relies on WMI. Ensure that all the necessary firewall ports for WMI are open and that the user account running Royal TS (beware of UAC) or the credentials set in the Remote Desktop connection have local administrative rights on the remote Hyper-V host computer.
