I was trying to install Remote Access on windows server 2012, I get an Error saying the request to add or remove features on the specified server failed. the operation cannot be completed because the server that you specified requires a restart.

when I check the event log I get:

The MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID service was unable to log on as NT


I have tried to follow some the following recommendation:

Navigate to Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment and open the 'Log on as a service' policy. Add the following user to the group:

NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID

Restart the server and run through the Add roles and features wizard - it should work.
