I am activating Windows features on Datacenter Server 2016 as prerequisites for SharePoint 2019, following Office Install SharePoint 2019 Prerequisites offline/online.

Please note, in some of the provided PowerShell scripts (.rar archive) some simple issues with character conversion need to fixed, first.


I am using PowerShell in order to activate Windows features.


Install-WindowsFeature NET-HTTP-Activation,NET-Non-HTTP-Activ,NET-WCF-Pipe-Activation45,NET-WCF-HTTP-Activation45,Web-Server,Web-WebServer,Web-Common-Http,Web-Static-Content,Web-Default-Doc,Web-Dir-Browsing,Web-Http-Errors,Web-App-Dev,Web-Asp-Net,Web-Asp-Net45,Web-Net-Ext,Web-Net-Ext45,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Filter,Web-Health,Web-Http-Logging,Web-Log-Libraries,Web-Request-Monitor,Web-Http-Tracing,Web-Security,Web-Basic-Auth,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-Filtering,Web-Performance,Web-Stat-Compression,Web-Dyn-Compression,Web-Mgmt-Tools,Web-Mgmt-Console,WAS,WAS-Process-Model,WAS-NET-Environment,WAS-Config-APIs,Windows-Identity-Foundation,Xps-Viewer -IncludeManagementTools -Verbose –Source <source path to Windows Server install binaries>


This fails.


The actual issue can be narrowed down to:


Install-WindowsFeature web-http-tracing -includemanagementtools -verbose -source <source path to Windows Server install binaries>



Error


Install-WindowsFeature : The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed.

Installation of one or more roles, role services, or features failed. Error: 0x800f0922

At line:28 char:2

+ Install-WindowsFeature web-http-tracing -includemanagementtools -ver ...


The same error number occurs, when another method for feature activation used (Server Manager UI, IIS platform installer, DISM).



This is not very specific.

On the Applications event log I find an entry with Event 5963, that I cannot interpret for a Windows Server Machine:


Activation of app Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy!CortanaUI failed with error: This app can't be activated by the Built-in Administrator. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.


This can be reproduced, so likely it is more than a coincidence.
