Ok, I've read probably hundreds of posts on this, and tried everything they said, but I'm going to post here anyway.
I have two servers running WS2012. I have set up an Active Directory domain on one (standard edition), and successfully joined the domain on the other (datacenter edition). Then I try to install Remote Desktop Services on the server that was joined to the domain (not the domain controller server), but it is unable to install role services.
1. I have tried the quick start and standard deployment. On the quick start, it gets about 1/3 of the way through the first installation, then fails everything. On the standard, it fails and says it was unable to install the broker role service.
2. I have tried installing the role services using powershell on the local server, and then from the other server, and role services could not be installed.
3. The user that is trying these tasks is a member of all user groups on the active directory, including domain admins. This user was also added as a local administrator on both servers.
4. Both servers are on the same network, but using different gateways.
5. When the installation fails, all server roles have management errors that say Online - unable to access role and feature data.
6. Both servers have static IP addresses.
7. I have tried this installation probably 20+ times tweaking the system slightly each time, and nothing has worked.
8. The server for RDS originally had Hyper-V installed, but then I disabled it, then removed it - nothing changed.
If anyone can point me in the right direction here, I'd appreciate it. Once again, my domain controller is on a separate server from the one I am trying to install RDS on.
