I am currently attempting to migrate services from a Windows 2016 server to Windows 2022 however, I am running into an issue when installing Windows features. For this example I will reference the feature 'RSAT-SMTP' but the same issue happens with other features.
I attempted using the command below and you can see the result:
PS C:\Windows\system32> Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-SMTP
Install-WindowsFeature : The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed.
Installation of one or more roles, role services, or features failed. Error: 0x800f0922
At line:1 char:1
+ Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-SMTP
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (@{Vhd=; Credent...Name=localhost}:PSObject) [Install-WindowsFeature], Exception

Success Restart Needed Exit Code Feature Result
------- -------------- --------- --------------
False No Failed {}
PS C:\Windows\system32>
When attempting to install the feature via the Server Manager GUI, it works fine:
Researching the error code in the powershell output shows two possible options:
1) The server can't reach the WSUS site. - This is correct, the server can NOT reach the WSUS site as it does not have direct outbound access. However, it also doesn't have access when installing via server manager.
2) There is less than 500 MB free. - This is incorrect, there is over 10 GB free space.
So my question is, what is different between installing via powershell and server manager on Windows 2022? The powershell command works fine when installing on Windows server 2016
