@garak0410 Run that cmdlet only on the VM, not the host machine or you will reboot the entire hyper-visor.
For sure...

Same problem...says the server needs to reboot.
This is very odd since this is a very new VM with nothing really changed on it...

Are you 100% positive you are on the correct VM and not accidentally working on a different VM from this VM's server manager?

Yes sir...I've done this both through remote desktop and on the console for this server on the host...same darn error each time I try to add REMOTE ACCESS role...

Looking at this now...I do have this key and there is a file located at the directory that it lists as PendingFileRename called 9a072afe.BUD...deleting the key and rebooting.

Deleted key...rebooted...retried the feature install...same problem...checked to see if PendingFileRename came back and it didn't.

I hate to say it.. but if time is an issue, and there is nothing else on this server (which it sounds like since you can reboot it 20 times a day) why not just build another VM and scrap this one? If you want to save it for later and try to trouble shoot it when you have nothing better to do.. Ok do that.

Whew...would hate to have to do this...it is already sharing duties with the soon to be demoted old domain controller...I can't imagine what would cause this problem since I keep this machine very clean.

The upside is that you can have effectively unlimited domain controllers all "sharing duties." Adding another one isn't a problem.
