I get the following message even though the server is online.Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role: configuration error

I've even tried downloading the prerequisites and passing them as parameters to the install tool. I've done two clean installs of Server 2012 but cannot get this to install.

Thanks, I tried that one yesterday along with the offline install mechanism. I'm wondering if it is a problem with Windows Server 2012 SP1, I'll try downloading the non SP1 version this morning and reinstall.

Yes, did that the first time round. Deleted the OS, started again clean and tried the prerequisite installer, no luck. Installed IIS roles and features, re-ran, no luck. Ran in online and offline modes in each scenario, no luck.

Cheers. I have installed Preview in the past, but now that everything (Server, SQL, SSRS, SP and TFS) is GA I'm replacing the now defunct preview installs with the released ones (or at least trying to).

Is there a way of getting a more verbose log? It's requesting something from IIS that fails, but I can't determine what it is trying to retrieve.

So the answer was:

domain group policy default applies a restriction on PowerShell to allsigned that cannot be overridden by the usual Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted.

Changed the policy (Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows
PowerShell : Turn on Script Execution to Allow all scripts

Ran the prerequisite installer successfully.

On DC:

Run gpedit.msc
Expand the left pane and right-click Default Domain Policy and select Edit
Expand the left pane and double-click Windows PowerShell
Right-Click Turn on Script Execution and select Edit
Select Not Configured and then select OK

On SharePoint host:
run gpupdate (To update the host for the changed policy)
