Q. How can I protect my Hyper-V environment from administrators?
A. Administrators are typically trusted individuals in an organization and so if you have administrators that you do not trust then typically they should not be administrators however there are options:
Pre-Windows Server 2016 you should either not make users administrators of the Hyper-V server or use Just Enough Administration (JEA) https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/wmf/jea_overview to grant administrators privileges only when they need it
Windows Server 2016 use Shielded VMs which I cover in detail at http://windowsitpro.com/hyper-v/super-secure-hyper-v-environments-shielded-vms-2016
