Target name resolution error when Hyper-V 2012 server is managed remotely

Target name resolution error when Hyper-V 2012 server is managed remotely

I have just set up a new Hyper-V 2012 Server and connected it to the
domain. I attempted to follow the microsoft documentation to allow remote
management via server manager. I enabled remote management in the server
configuration command menu. I also allowed the server to respond to ping
requests. When I search for the server in server manager from my windows 8
desktop it is found by name and added to the servers list. Under the
manageability column I get the message "Target name resolution error." I
am able to ping the server by ip address but not by name. Both the server
and my desktop are connected to the domain. I tried adding the server name
to my deskops hosts file in wich case I can now ping the server by name
but I still get the same error in server manager. The documentation simply
states that I should have to enable remote management on the server, add
any user accounts that should be allowed remote access to the local
administrator group, and then connect to it from server manager.

the documentation is incomplete or I may have something misconfigured.
