What a pain! Brand new vm spun up with Windows Server 2012r2 and all the updates. Server was pristine and untouched by any outside software. Windows and updates and that was it.
This server was to be used for tracking print usage via SNMP to analyse cost per page and the software needed .NET 2.0. No big deal, manage roles and services check application server and .NET 3.5 since it’s backwards compatible as I understand it. Nope, no, do not pass start and do not collect $200.
I tried the DISM command with the ISO mounted every which way from Sunday… and still couldn’t get it. While browsing a Microsoft TechNET article I stumbled upon the solution that fixed it for me.
dism.exe /online /enable- feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
Note in the /Source:D:\ you will need to select the drive letter for your install disc. I had my install ISO mounted as “E:” so you will need to change accordingly if you are using a different drive letter.
Actual Post that helped me:
I had to run it without limitacces.
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:D:\sources\sxs
Edit: I realized the right command was “dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess“
