I created a 2012 R2 Datacenter VM. I tried to install .net framework 3.5 but it says the source file was missing. I started troubleshooting and figured it was a security update was preventing it. I looked in my control panel and looked at the installed
programs and neither the security update or the update that was supposed to delete the security update was there. The other solution was to use an alternate source path using \sources\sxs but that doesn't work either. There was an article that says "If
you are using Server Manager in Windows Server 2012 to add a role or feature to a remote server, the remote server’s computer account (DOMAIN\ComputerName$) requires access to the alternate source file path because the deployment operation runs in the SYSTEM
context on the target server" but I'm not sure how to do that. I also noticed typically under resources for each VM I create, there will also be a .iso file created but for some reason, it doesn't work anymore more. I tried recreating the server but the
same issue arises
