1. Remove the SUP role from the server
2. Add the DWORD (OnlyUseLatestCLR = 1) to the SUP server registry key located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\.NETFRAMEWORK
3. Install the SUP role again
4. Once the installation was successful, I removed the registry key.

$EventID = 'The following "GUID:1234-567-890" is causing problems.  Please fix'

$Text = $EventID -split ' '

$GUID = $Text -like '"GUID:*"' -replace '"',''

It's a quick and easy way to extract the text I needed from a string and pass it along.

*note: Those are single quotes around double quotes.

The problem was that the server didn't have access to the Internet because it needed a proxy server configured in the Internet Options \ Connections \ LAN tab.  Once I put in the proxy server, I tried the installation again.  Failed! 

The server now has Internet access, but continued to get the same error message. 

Solution: I then deleted the Windows Update key in the registry HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Update and restarted the Windows Update service. 

Once I tried to install the WSUS role again, it was successful.

Sending with winhttp failed; 80072ee7

Failed to get information for MP: https:// Server.FQDN. 80072ee7

After reviewing the log file and doing research on the errors, it was determined the error code 80072ee7 is DNS related. 

It just so happends that my client's lab does not have DHCP enabled, so I have to manually enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS server and DNS suffix of the network.  After doing so and hitting OK, the process would immediately fail.  

To resolve the problem, I had to hit F8 after putting in the network information, but before hitting 'OK'.  In the cmd box, I typed in IPCONFIG /REGISTERDNS at the prompt. 

(*Note: You must have the "Enable command support (Testing Only)" option in the boot image properties under the customization tab for the F8 to work). 

I waited a couple seconds for it to register with the DNS server, then closed the cmd box down and hit OK on the wizard to move forward. 

Presto. The wizard continued on and loaded the OS.
