I am trying to add the Wireless LAN Service to my server but I first had to restart it because it installed some updates a while ago. After the restart it came up with the following error:




The request to list features available on the specified server failed.

Is it trying to add prerequisite features and restart first? I had a similar problem adding the WSUS role which was clashing when it also added the Windows Internal Database.



This guy mentions the error, but my solution was different. Instead of changing group policy, I had to actually provide the WID account access to the WID directory:



$WIDService = "MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID"
$Acl = Get-Acl "D:WIDData"
$Acl.SetAccessRule((New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($WIDService,"FullControl","Allow")))
Set-Acl "D:WIDData" $Acl


This isn't exactly your problem, but the symptom seems the same so it may lead you in the right direction at least.

        Go to "C:WindowsWinSxS" and check if there's a pending.xml file. Delete that file and try rebooting again. If you're unable to delete that file, try deleting it offline. If it's a virtual server, simply map its virtual disk somewhere and delete the file that way.
