[Edit] Some customers have also found this post to be useful in resolving this issue: https://mindre.net/post/Your-credentials-did-not-work---Hyper-V-in-a-domain.aspx

The actual error is:

Your credentials did not work

Your system administrator does not allow the use of default credentials to log on to the remote computer <computer name> because its identity is not fully verified. Please enter new credentials. 

Entering new credentials works in all cases, but it is a hassle :)
