Hey all, we're experimenting with using two-factor authentication for RDP and console access to servers using smart cards. The first thing you do is go into a virtual machines' local security policy and set the Interactive Login: Require Smart Card
to Enable. What we found out is that smartcard access works when you RDP directly to a Hyper-v virtual machine, however, console access is where i'm getting tripped up at. Is it possible to use either the Hyper-V Manager and/or VMM2012SP1 to get a console
session with a virtual machine when the virtual machine has the Require Smart Card setting as 'enabled'? When you go to get the console session from VMM or HV manager, it never gives you the option to use a smart card to log on with. When you try to log in,
it says you need a smart card. Can the smart card, that is located in your local PC, get passed through VMM or through the Hyper-v node to get a console session? Knowing my scenario, is it even possible to set up two-factor smart card authentication
and expect to get a console session to a virtual machine thru Hyper-V manager or VMM? Any feedback appreciated. Thanks
