I installed Windows 2012 R2 Essentials as a VM on my Windows server 2012 R2 machine.
Once the Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2 setup is complete, the server reboots to the desktop and would ask you to configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role. After the role is installed and you run the Post-deployment Configuration Wizard, it fails with an error message saying: Configuration encountered some issues
Please Click Retry. If the issue still exists please refer to the help link for more troubleshooting steps.
I tried to the workaround which is to add ServerAdmin$ account. I added the account as local user but I could not find the Default Domain Group Policy. When I run gpmc.msc tool, I get no domain group policy. the server is not yet configured as a server. What do you think I am missing?
