Unable to add roles to new install of server 2016 essentials.

[w_marquardt]

I am unable to add a dhcp role to this server. Don't know about other roles.

When I try through power shell, I get the following back:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Install-WindowsFeature -Name ‘DHCP’
Install-WindowsFeature : The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed.
A DISM session could not be opened.
The request is not supported. Error: 0x80070002
At line:1 char:1
+ Install-WindowsFeature -Name ‘DHCP’

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DISMAPI_Error__Failed_Opening_Dism_Session,Microsoft.Windows.ServerManager.Commands.AddW
indowsFeatureCommand

Success Restart Needed Exit Code Feature Result
------- -------------- --------- --------------
False No Failed {}


When I try through the gui, I get this:

The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed. A DISM Session could not be opened.
The request is not supported. 0x80070002

I assuming this may affect all roles so I'd really like to find the solution. I haven't seen anything useful on the web yet so any input would be greatly appreciated.
