    Check if SharePoint servers have internet access and you are local admin or try to configure the prerequisites using offline and manual way.

    I thought copying C:windowsSystem32ServerManager.exe to ServerManagerCMD.exe was ridiculous.  But I did it, and it worked! Same as above Server 2012 R2.

    Worked, thanks Nabeel!   Just to clarify, you can't rename the original file.  You need to create a copy and rename the copy to "ServerManagerCMD.exe" and just leave them both in that directory.
