Let’s say you have a fresh Windows Server 2012 R2 machine and you start to install SharePoint 2016 IT Preview. If the Microsoft SharePoint Products Preparation Tool execution will fail at the Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role<\/em> step, most likely this is happening due to the fact you are missing the Side-by-Side folder required to install features like ASP.NET 4.5.

If we look into what does Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role<\/em> step means, we will see a PowerShell script who does, well \u2026 application server and web server role installation.<\/p>\n
\r\nParam(\r\n [String]$logFile\r\n)\r\nImport-Module Servermanager\r\nStart-Transcript -path $logFile\r\n$operation = Add-WindowsFeature Application-Server,Web-Server,`\r\nwindows-identity-foundation,NET-Framework-45-ASPNET,Web-Mgmt-Console,`\r\nWeb-Mgmt-Compat,Web-Metabase,Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console,Web-Lgcy-Scripting,`\r\nWeb-Mgmt-Tools,Web-WMI,AS-Web-Support,Web-Common-HTTP,NET-HTTP-Activation,`\r\nNET-Non-HTTP-Activ,NET-WCF-HTTP-Activation45 -verbose\r\nif ($operation.ExitCode -eq 'SuccessRestartRequired') {\r\n  Stop-Transcript\r\n  $host.SetShouldExit(3010)\r\n  exit\r\n}\r\nelseif (!$operation.Success){\r\n  Stop-Transcript\r\n  $host.SetShouldExit(1000)\r\n  exit\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
If you will try separately to execute the PowerShell script, then the solution to the problem is revealed.

Solution 1<\/strong><\/span>
\nhttps:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/hh825020.aspx<\/a>
\nMy playground environment has GPO’s with Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair<\/em> defined, but this time I decided to isolate the SharePoint 2016 installation from my playground and I encountered the OOB “experience”.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Solution 2<\/strong><\/span>
\nI still recommend to go with solution no. 1 (simply because it will apply to all the\u00a0other servers and is a solid one), but in case you are in an isolated network, or simply just want to move on with the SP2016 setup, then I recommend to execute the following command before re-running the preparation tool.<\/p>\n
\r\nAdd-WindowsFeature Application-Server,Web-Server,windows-identity-foundation,`\r\nNET-Framework-45-ASPNET,Web-Mgmt-Console,Web-Mgmt-Compat,Web-Metabase,`\r\nWeb-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console,Web-Lgcy-Scripting,Web-Mgmt-Tools,Web-WMI,AS-Web-Support,`\r\nWeb-Common-HTTP,NET-HTTP-Activation,NET-Non-HTTP-Activ,NET-WCF-HTTP-Activation45 `\r\n-Source 'Z:\\sources\\sxs'\r\n<\/pre>\n
where Z:\\sources\\sxs is the location of the Side-by-Side folder (available on the Windows OS installation media)<\/span><\/p>\n

Re-run the SharePoint 2016 Products Preparation Tool and go further.
