You should be back in business after the reboot. Shutdown /r /t 0 This shuts the server down for reboot with a wait time of zero (immediate). Once the installation is complete, which will take quite awhile, reboot the server with the command This installed the GUI features and all the requisites for those features.
The solution was to run the following command from the command prompt that had opened when I logged into the server:ĭism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Server-Gui-Mgmt /featurename:Server-Gui-Shell /featurename:ServerCore-FullServer /all In fact, nothing would run from the command prompt except taskmgr. Server manager would not open so, enabling features with the UI was not an option. Don't ask how, its embarrassing! lolĪnyway, PowerShell would not function so Install-Feature was not an option. I managed to have this happen to me after installing the full GUI version of the OS.
