Here is my problem  ^^^^^^^^^^

Win 8.1 box, 64bit

I've uninstalled\reinstalled, tried the custom install with no option of remote enablement mentioned.

I've tried to access the url using the IP, localhost, 127.0.0.1, the IP of the system  all with https://(xxxxxxx):1311

I've tried domain admin, localadmin (even changed the local admin), root\calvin

Disabled Software firewall, enabled, disable AV software. 

It allows login to the webserver management, just not the system management side.  This seems to be an old problem, with many solutions, but none I have found worked so far.  Does anyone in the community have an idea?

Many Thanks in advance, and please note what i've already tried above.

Cheers
