Add-WindowsFeature fails on Server 2012

I was having a real problem building several Front-End servers for a customer this week. Try as I might, I couldn’t get the Roles and Features to install.

I’ve previously documented the audio file formats that Exchange and Lync require, and it’s relatively easy to reformat files with a digital audio editor like Adobe’s Audition or Goldwave.

Lync Reports: Cannot Impersonate User For Data Source

There are MANY blog posts offering you a cure for this one, all of them focussing on the password for the reporting services account, and ensuring it’s set correctly and to never expire (here, here & here are just some examples).
