Windows 2019 Core installation - OMSA remote admin - Can't connect
So have searched forum and my issue is similar to this, but the last post seems to suggest setting up OMSA remote admin is not possible a Windows Core installation, which seems implausible.
Setup
PowerEdge R340
Windows 2019 Std Core - Hyper-V host
Running OMSA Web Server(10.1.0.0) on a Windows 2019 Std(with GUI) VM (running on different host, same domain etc..)
Issues
On the Hyper-V host, ran the "RunPreReqChecks.exe /s", as per the windows core install instructions. It does nothing, doesn't create the "omprereq.htm" file, or write anything to reg at "KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Dell Computer Corporation\OpenManage \PreReqChecks\MN\"
I went ahead ran the installer anyways, and selected every install option except "Server Administrator Web Server" and the "Intel Snmp Agent". It installs without issue and I can see the "dcstore64" and "dcevt64" services are running.
I can't connect to this server from web server admin on the VM, the connection times out when trying to login.
Following various forums I both opened port 1311 and subsequently turned off windows firewall altogether, which didn't fix it.
I have tried running the TroubleShooting tool and again the "OSMA Remote Enablement" test is returning Login Failed - Connection Error. The Port test for 1311 returned a "could not connect to 1311" error.
So am I missing something on the core server, that the PreReqcheck would have caught if it ran or does this just not work?
Thanks,
Kev

To access OMSA using browser you need to install "Server Administrator Web Server" component also. After that only you will be able to connect to port1311

OK, that worked. I was under the impression, that I didn't need(and didn't want overhead etc..) the Web Server on the machine I was monitoring given there is a remote enablement option and the web server install on the VM has a field to specify machine you want to log on to.
Thanks,
