I installed Server 2008 r2 Standard and when I first turned it on I tried to do the automatic updates, they would not work because my time and date were so far off. So after I changed it I started the updates. Windows then told me my time period without registering had expired and that my password would be changed. So I put in my product key and fixed it. However when I try to add server roles for features it says error on the Server manager page. I clicked print, email or save this information on the bottom of the page and this is what it gives me. ------------------------------------------------------ Provide Computer Information ------------------------------------------------------ Product ID: 00477-179-7438715-84977 (Activated) Time Zone: (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada) Local Area Connection: Assigned by DHCP Full Computer Name: WIN-9ABE1R1DR78 Workgroup: WORKGROUP ------------------------------------------------------ Update This Server ------------------------------------------------------ Updates: Install updates automatically using Windows Update Feedback: Windows Error Reporting on, Participating in Customer Experience Improvement Program Checked for Updates: Today at 10:19 AM Installed Updates: Today at 10:29 AM ------------------------------------------------------ Customize This Server ------------------------------------------------------ Roles: Error Features: Error Remote Desktop: Disabled Firewall: Public: On

After another round of windows updates it now works. So problem solved
