Hyper-V on Win 8.1 Embedded Host

Question

I believe I'm having permission issues when attempting to use Hyper-V on Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro.  Hyper-V seems to install cleanly, and from an admin account I can use the Hyper-V Manager without issue and connect to a running VM.  However
if I attempt to use the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection application from the same account, it reports "You do now have the required permission to complete this task..." And attempts to run either the Manager or the Virtual Machine Connection result
in the same on a standard user account.  
I've attempted to modify the permissions in Hyper-V InitialStore.xml by adding both my Dev (admin) and Test (user) to the Administrator role but this has not fixed the issue. I've also looked in the Computer Management utility and the group "Hyper-V
Administrators" does not exist.  When I run the script from Ben Armstrong that generated and assigned rights to that group before it was shipping with Hyper-V I receive a notification that my current user is already added to the group and still don't
see anything in Computer Management.  
The end goal is to be able to run the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection Utility from a non-administrative user. Any advice is appreciated.

If the client OS is 64bit windows 8.1 pro/ent there should be " hyper-v administrators" group .
