Failed to install Role Services

We have two Certification Authority Servers on our domain, one of the nodes have all roles installed OK.
But when we try to install the same roles on the another node server, we got the following message:
Active Directory Certificate Services: Installation failed
   Error: Attempt to install Certification Authority Web Enrollment failed.  The specified package is not applicable (error value: 0x800F081E).
   Error: Attempt to install Certificate Enrollment Web Service failed.  The specified package is not applicable (error value: 0x800F081E).

Hi,
Please refer to the suggestion that Dave Patrick provided. The CheckSUR.log may help us to narrow down the root reason of your issue.
Besides, based on the error message, it means that the package being applied was not
applicable. Please ensure that the package was applicable. Meanwhile, make sure that the computer meets all of the requirements of the package. Then reinstall it again and check if still have the same issue.
Hope this helps.

  • Failing to install Domain Services on a Windows 2012R2 without internet connection

    Hello
    i have a windows 2012r2 server without internet connection.
    when i try to add the Domain Services role it failed in the Feature installation phase
    i even tried to provide an alternate location from a ISO source but that didn't help either 
    im lost here what should i do?
    i attached the fail screenshot
    Thanks 
    Guy

    What error is shown in Event Viewer when the install fails?
    Is it the first 2012 R2 DC in a lower level domain?
    Try installing ADDS via PowerShell:
    Import-Module ServerManager
    Install-windowsfeature -name AD-Domain-Services –IncludeManagementTools
    The other thing that it could be is an issue with the WID (Windows Internal Database)
    Check in the Event Viewer for anything to do with Service: MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID and perhaps try this:
    Adjust your domain (or domain controller if appropriate) security policy to allow “NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID” to log on as a service, a GPO setting that can be found under Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings
    > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment.
    Kind Regards

  • Installation of Client Access role fails on Windows Server 2008 R2 (Execution of: "$error.Clear(); Install-ExchangeCertificate -services "IIS, POP, IMAP")

    Hello
    I am trying to install Exchange Server 2010 beta 1 onto a Windows Server 2008 R2 (build 7000) machine which has also been set up as a domain controller.
    However when attempting to install the Client Access role, setup fails with the error below.
    Does anyone know of a way to get around this please?
    I have already searched for this error and not found any similar threads.
    Also every time I press the code button on this forum it crashes the browser and I keep losing the message! (IE8 from within Server R2). Also the message box is very small, will not expand and keeps jumping to the top.
    Thanks

    Hello
    Thanks for all the replies.
    I have since wiped the system and installed everything again and it all worked this time so not sure what was wrong last time. I did try to uninstall all Exchange components and then uninstall IIS and Application server, reboot and re-install but I received the same error still when it came to installing the client access role.
    Walter: I just attempted the standard installation which should have used the default self-signed certificate. Everything was a fresh install done at the same time on a freshly formatted PC.
    For info last time when it failed to work:
    - Installed Windows Server 2008 R2
    - Installed Domain Controller role using dcpromo. I set the forest and domain as Windows Server 2008 R2
    - Added a forest trust between main domain and test Exchange domain (set up as ex2010.local)
    - Installed IIS and Application Server role
    - Installed Hyper-v role
    - Installed Desktop Experience feature
    - Installed Exchange and recieved the error
    When it worked I set up the forest and domain in Windows Server 2008 mode (i.e. not R2), installed Exchange first and then set up the forest trust and then Hyper-v. It did say it failed to configure dns which was probably because it started trying to do automatic updates half way through the dcpromo! DNS seems to work ok though.
    I did notice this time that Hyper-v gave a warning about the virtual network adapter not being set up correctly and the local network did not work correctly although I could access the internet. Not sure if this could have been related to the cause of the problem previously. For now I have disabled the virtual network until I get time to try and get it working and so the mail will work in the meantime.
    I also noticed that Hyper-v added an extra 443 ssl binding to the default website so as it had 2 bindings on port 443 it refused to start. After deleting one it worked.
    I decided to install Exchange onto a domain controller as it is only a test and I wouldn't do it in a live environment. I am also short of test machines! It didn't give me any warnings about this actually, I think previous versions warn you that it is not recommended.
    Andreas and Chinthaka: I did not know about the requirement to run the domain at 2003 mode. The main domain is running in 2008 mode with Exchange 2007 so I assume this is just a temporary beta related requirement. It does seem to be working (second attempt) so far in a 2008 mode domain although I haven't had a chance to fully test it yet.
    Thanks
    Robin
    P.S. Sorry it's taken me a while to reply!

    2)     
    Remove all existing installed  features of dotnet 3.5 and reboot the server
    3)     
    Install Windows Process activation service using add features and reboot the server
    4)      NowInstalled Web(IIS)

  • Error installing RD Web Access role service on Windows 2012 R2 server

    I'm attempting to install the RD Web Access role service to test a VDI deployment but the installation keeps failing. I get the following error:

    As anyone else come across this error? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Remote Desktop Connection Broker role fails to install

    Hi,
    I am having a situation where I cannot install the RDS Connection Broker on a Windows 2012 R2 that also has AD DS installed.  I understand with Windows 2012 R2, you should be able to do this.
    I suspect that the Default Domain Controller Policy might be a factor in this, but I have modified the "Log on as a Service" right to include the "NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES" user as directed in article
    2832204. The issue persists.
    I have reviewed the event logs and the Windows Internal Database logs, and it appears the hang up is with the installation of the Windows Internal Database.  The C:\windows\wid\log\error.log file shows the following line just before the installation
    fails:
    2014-12-12 11:05:32.54 Logon       Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'. Reason: Could not find a login matching the name provided. [CLIENT: <named pipe>]
    I am unsure where to go from here, but I tried renaming the C:\Windows\WID folder after a reboot to see if a clean install of the Windows Internal Database would fix it, but it still has the same issue.
    Some more information on the environment:
    Recently added this Windows 2012 R2 DC to a domain that previously only had a Windows 2003 domain controller. There were no errors with the DC promotion.  Windows 2003 domain controller still resides on the network as a DC (for now).
    Planning to install RD Connection Broker and RD Web Access role services to the new Windows 2012 R2 AD DS server. 
    Thank you for any assistance you can provide to resolve this issue.
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Initially would like to say that it’s not best practice to have RDS and AD DS role on same server (Not recommended). There are various safety reason for this case.  Instead you can do one thing, install Hyper-v on physical server and then create 2 VM (one
    for AD DS and other for RDS) in this way you can achieve your goal. Please try to install as the mentioned way and verify whether you resolved you issue. For more information you can refer following article.
    Step by Step Windows 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services – Part 1
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

    In Windows Event long I can see the following events logged:
    Event 3002, Port Map:
      Windows(R) failed a request to register RPC Port Mapper on TCP port 111.  RPC Port Mapper cannot start.
      Network File System (NFS) clients use RPC Port Mapper (also known as Portmap and Rpcbind) to discover NFS protocols on remote servers.  Without RPC Port Mapper, Server for NFS
    cannot start and NFS clients cannot access files on this server.
      Verify that no other software is registered on TCP port 111, then start Server for NFS manually (which will also start RPC Port Mapper).
    Event 7000, Service Control Manager:
    The Server for NFS Open RPC (ONCRPC) Portmapper service failed to start due to the following error:
    A device attached to the system is not functioning.
    Event 7001, Service Control Manager:
    The Server for NFS Driver service depends on the Server for NFS Open RPC (ONCRPC) Portmapper service which failed to start because of the following error:
    A device attached to the system is not functioning.
    Event 7001, Service Control Manager:
    The Server for NFS service depends on the Server for NFS Driver service which failed to start because of the following error:
    The dependency service or group failed to start.
    Based on a technet forum I have already checked and made sure there is no other service running on port 111 (command used is netstat -a -b -o).
    Dependent Service Status:
    During the installation process “Client for NFS” seems to have gone well and the service started successfully. But the “Server for NFS” failed, when checked for the status of the dependent process “portmap” service failed to start with the WIN32_EXIT_CODE
    “31 (0x1f)”. Please find below the query result.

            CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
            WAIT_HINT          : 0x0
    C:\Users\CMMAdmin>
    As the EXIT CODE is 31 ( A device attached to the system is not functioning), I have checked device manager and made sure there is no yellow warning shown against any hardware device. Further I am not sure how to proceed and debug this issue.
    Please let me know if you have any suggestion on how debug this issue further.
    Thanks

    My solution was to run netstat -ano to identify what process was running on port TCP/UDP :111, then with the command tasklist I got PID matching with the task name. Once identified I stopped the process, rebooted and installed
    the NFS service. On top of that, before installing NFS services I disabled firewall and antivirus. It worked fine for me. I hope this will be usefull for you. By the way, don't forget to enable all process back!
    Have a good one!

  • Preinstaller failing at install Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role

    Hi, 
     I am trying to install SharePoint 2013 on Windows 2008 R2. I have database MS SQL Server 2012 on the same machine itself. My SharePoint Preinstaller fails at installing Application server and Web server roles.. Even though the roles get created, they

    Please help!!!  I am going on 9 days now trying to install SharePoint 2013 onto a VM.  I have tried Hyper-V and VMWare and am getting the same result with both.
    Running Windows 8.1  with 16 GBs of RAM.
    The pre-req installer will not install anything!!  And I get this error:
    The tool was unable to install Application
    Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role
    So I installed the Web Server IIS Role and restart...   still no luck
    Then I ran this command: 
    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i -enable
    And get this message: "This option is not supported on this version of the operating system. Admins should instead install/uninstall ASP.NET 4.5 with IIS8 using the "Turn Windows Features On/Off dialog....
    9 days of cussing and pulling my hair out...  please someone help..  I just want to run the Pre-Req installer and install SharePoint on a VM Machine. 
    Any help would be appreciated!!  Thanks in advance!
    I just want to confirm that I'm facing exactly the same problem.
    Currently, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 is not supported for installation on computers running the Windows Server 2012 R2 operating
    system.

  • Windows 2008 Server R2 - Service Pack 1 Failed to install

    A few nights ago I deployed Service Pack 1 for Windows 2008 Server R2 x64.  The update failed to install after 3 attempts using the Windows Update manager.  After the third time I checked the system properties which states that SP1 is
    installed, yet it never appeared to install successfully as my other server machine had a prompt stating the SP was installed successfully. 
    In update history it shows the 3 failed attempts with no successes.  This morning I began running into memory errors which are impacting my 2 VM Ware sessions which in turn lock up my virtual machine so I am going to attempt to remove and reinstall
    to see if this corrects my issue.  By the way what triggered the install of SP1 is random reboots of my server.  This is that unknown Kernal Power Error which I have yet to resolve.  Some months my server randomly reboots one time and other
    months 4-5x.  That is neither here nor there, the point of this discussion is to resolve SP1. 
    I have tried to remove SP1 by means of Control Panel, Programs and Features, Installed Updates.  So it shows the that the SP1 installed in multiple areas yet in the install history no signs of successful installation.
    When trying to uninstall from Program and Features/Installed Updates section in control panel it cycles through like its going to uninstall, but after several minutes I receive the following error      Windows Update     
    An error has occurred. Not all of the updates were successfully uninstalled.
    When trying to uninstall from the command prompt (as administrator) "wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:976932" I get the following popup            Windows Update Standalone Installer        
    Installer encountered an error: 0x80073712       The component store has been corrupted.
    Now if I try and install through the network installer file name "windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe" I get "Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 is already installed"
    I performed these steps in the order mentioned which I came across this "System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Edition (KB947821) [February 2011]" After applying this hotfix I went through the same steps as mentioned above with the
    exact same results.
    It is unfortuante I did not come across this hotfix before I attempted install SP1 as it appears as if this would have prepared the system for SP1 installation.  Currently I am in limbo with a corrupt installation of SP1 and so far no means of uninstalling
    short of a reinstallation or repair of the OS which I am not willing to do at this point in time.
    If anyone has any suggestions please chime in and let me know what I can try.  Thanks for all the support and hopefully this post will help others in the future.

    Maybe a little bit late, but I was running almost same problem on a exchange server.
    Scenario:
    First attempt to Update the windows patches - excluded the patches from the last 2 months.
    I was kind a new to this, and didnt noticed that Windows Service pack must have at least 8GB free disk space.(Recommended)
    So the C:\ partition had less then 5 GB free disk space, and I started the updates.
    All went well until Windows SP1 begun running to downloading and installing.
    When the installer noticed there wasnt enough space, It stopped, it give the status Failed, en when scaling up the C:\partition with another 10GB more space, the C:\partition had 18GB free disk space.
    Tried to Call up a new attemp to install the SP1... but with no succes to start the SP1 installation...
    I tried to reinstall but the windows update didnt get offered again to install again or resume or anything to try again...
    Maybe...it is handy for Mickysoft, to check before installing, so the install wont get corrupted, and can install when c:\ partition has enough disk space.
    What was the trick:
    1) Stop the windows Update Service
    2) C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore - Delete content
    3) C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download - Delete content
    4) Windows update Service check if its runs again
    5) Check again for windows updates - Check if Windows Server Service pack 1 is offered, and install reboot and youre good to go.
    It works for me :) hopefully after 3 years you had found a solution, but since I was poping for a solution and found this article with no solution.
    I tought it will be hopefull for others to respond to this article with a solution.
    Kind regards,

  • Should I install Print Services as a role for a single server env no domain

    I have a OAS application using converted UNIVERSE code to work with withSQL server. The application works fine and local users and groups will do the job. I have been tasked with replacing UNIX based printing to Windows based printing. Don't need LDP services
    either. Does it make sense to install print services for about 30-40 printers or just set them up local. There will be about 10 different forms and i will have to be able to re-direct jobs, pause jobs, re-queue jobs, and disable\enable the printers.
    I don't know that version 3 or 4 printer drivers matter because the same printer driver will be used for a majority of print jobs. As a matter of fact there are 5 or 6 different drivers needed. This is setting on a 100 MB backbone with GB access to the server.

    Hi,
    Print Services enables you to share printers on a network and centralize print server and network printer management tasks by using the Print Management snap-in.
    Print Management helps you monitor print queues and receive notifications when print queues stop processing print jobs. It also enables you to migrate print servers and deploy printer connections by using Group Policy.
    Print Services Role
    http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc732378(WS.10).aspx
    I’m not quite clear about your current provisioning, as referred in the title, for single server without domain. I think this role is not necessary for you.
    Hope this helps.
