When trying to complete the post-installation tasks Windows Server Update Services 4.0 (Windows Server 2012 Role) cannot seem to complete them. This is a member server with Default Roles, WDS, NAP, IIS, and (attempting) WSUS. It is intended to be a Network Management Server.
I get a variety of errors and it appears to be related to the attempt to sync with the Windows Update server on the Internet. I also see an error indicating it does not have permissions to the %Install Directory%\Update Services folder. I looked at the security permissions and the folder I designated to use for the update cache had my account and CREATOR/OWNER permissions invisible on the main tab. Going into advanced, I was able to see permissions and grant full control to that directory.
The 'Update Services' directory was owned by Trusted Installer and I observed the same condition with the permissions invisible in the main dialog and visible in the advanced dialog. I was unable to modify those since I was not the owner.
I have uninstalled the Role Service and Re-installed, with the same results. I did the same thing again but deleted all the folders I could find used by the Service, and no help there either.
When I attempt the post-installation tasks my error logs come up blank now? There are some things recorded in the event logs too if anyone wants to see them. Here is one of the error logs from an early attempt at this Role Install:
