How to Install Hyper-V Tools using PowerShell

I'm testing Windows 2012 and Hyper-V just to see what it has. I installed the trial version of Hyper-V (no GUI and only the Hyper-V service) on a server and then installed windows Server 2012 on another server to remotely manage it.

I was able to add the Hyper-V server to the Server Manager, however I couldn't get the Hyper-V Manager installed. I was even going in to Roles and Features. I then found the below to get me the Hyper-V Manager.

Get-WindowsFeature Hyper-V*
Install-WindowsFeature Hyper-V-Tools
Install-WindowsFeature Hyper-V-PowerSHell
Get-WindowsFeature Hyper-V*

I added the two computers to the same domain so I didn't have to add a local administrator account and then run a bunch of crazy PowerShell scripts to trust
