I'm trying to install the NPS role on Windows Server 2016 (Datacenter) but neither Server Manager nor Install-Windows feature seem to be aware of its existence:
PS > Install-WindowsFeature NPAS -IncludeManagementTools Install-WindowsFeature : ArgumentNotValid: The role, role service, or feature name is not valid: 'NPAS'. The name was not found. + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (NPAS:String) [Install-WindowsFeature], Exception + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NameDoesNotExist,Microsoft.Windows.ServerManager.Commands.AddWindowsFeatureCommand Success Restart Needed Exit Code Feature Result ------- -------------- --------- -------------- False No InvalidArgs {}There are a number of other roles that are missing like Fax Server and Windows Deployment Services.
Is there something else that needs to be done to install it (and the other missing roles)?

Davidw over 6 yearsWhat roles are you looking to implement? It appears a lot of the old features connected to NPS are depreciated in Server 2016. "Network Access Protection (NAP), Health Registration Authority (HRA), and Host Credential Authorization Protocol (HCAP) were deprecated in Windows Server 2012 R2, and are not available in Windows Server 2016. If you have a NAP deployment using operating systems earlier than Windows Server 2016, you cannot migrate your NAP deployment to Windows Server 2016." docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/technologies/… -
digitalPhonix over 6 yearsI want to use the NPS as a RADIUS server for VPN and 802.1X authentication

Davidw over 6 yearsWhat do you get if you run Get-Windowsfeature -computername domain | where {$_.Installed -eq $false} ?
-
Lenniey over 6 yearsWhat version of Server 2016 are you using (besides datacenter)? All recent updates installed? I had a similar problem some time back with server 2012R2 (I think). After installing all updates in went away.

Persistent13 over 6 years@digitalPhonix You're also missing the
Fax Serverrole. Can you confirm you are using an unmodified image?

Davidw over 6 yearsIn fact, there are a number of roles listed in the screenshot that are not available on Server Core.
