I am getting below error while trying to add either WAS-NET-Environment or NET-HTTP-Activation features in windows server 2019. I have to install these features using powershell since I have to do it on number of servers? Any ideas?

2021-10-02T01:05:44.743+00:00 Thanks for your reply but same error after the repair. Tool is now collecting the logs to send to Microsoft but that is not going to help me. Any other ideas?

Thank you for your question.
f the error 0x800f0954 occurs installing optional Windows features, it may be because the system is unable to access the Windows Update server. This is especially true in case of domain-joined computers which is configured to downloads updates from a WSUS server. It could also be possible that your computer was once a part or a corporate or domain network and the group policy setting is still in place.
We have a similar subject with a problem similar to this, I recommend that you consult it to better understand how to solve it, go to it on the link below:

2021-10-06T23:51:57.027+00:00 Server is reinstalled but still I am seeing same error. WSUS server is configured on this server via GPO and this server can reach it. I can see patches can get installed. What could I do to install .Net framework 3.5 with wsus server configured?

2021-10-02T01:08:22.263+00:00 Still not much to go on but if it were me I would not spend much time troubleshooting. I'd clean install it, patch fully and go at it again.

2021-10-02T01:21:56.197+00:00 Yes, I figured that. You can clean install and patch it in 40 mins or so, it really isn't worth spending any time troubleshooting.

2021-10-04T20:30:52.53+00:00 Sorry for delay. Server installation/deployment is done by another team so its still pending on their end. I have one more related question. Server in question has 4.7 .net framework installed. Do I really need 3.5 to get installed. Actually I haven't received these requirements from the team which will use it , instead just using the same list of features we used for 2012 R2. so not sure if it is really required in presence of 4.7 version
