DirectAccess multisite on Server 2012 R2: 'The remote access configuration task (raconfigtask) in Windows Task Scheduler cannot be disabled"

Question

Dear all,
I'm an experiencing an issue when configuring 2012 R2 DirectAccess multisite.
The initial configuration of the first site in a multisite setup works fine, however when i try to add ANY other server on another site, i see the below screenshot, the full text of which is: "The remote access configuration task (raconfigtask) in Windows
Task Scheduler cannot be disabled" while the entry point is added.
THere are no logged events on the remote server, but on the controlling server i see this in the event log:

Any ideas what might be causing this? All servers are in the same domain, firewalls don't seem to be dropping anything, SCCM client is installed, but thats it.
Appreciate any feedback.
