Cannot install GUI to Hyper-V 2012 R2 server core

Hi everyone,

I have followed this article to convert a server core install to have a GUI installed:

http://andersonpatricio.ca/enabling-and-disabling-the-graphical-interface-in-hyper-v-server-core/

When I run the powershell command:

Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra -Source C:\Sources\Windows\Winsxs

I get the following error:

PS C:\> Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra -Source C:\Sources\Windows\
Winsxs
Install-WindowsFeature : ArgumentNotValid: The role, role service, or feature
name is not valid: 'Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra'. The name was not found.
At line:1 char:1
+ Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra -Source
C:\Sources\Windows\Winsxs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NameDoesNotExist,Microsoft.Windows.ServerManager
   .Commands.AddWindowsFeatureCommand

Success Restart Needed Exit Code      Feature Result
------- -------------- ---------      --------------
False   No             InvalidArgs    {}

I have checked if there is a folder called Winsxs under c:\sources\windows and it is not there. Looks like the install.win file does not have it.

There is no bloody way of installing a GUI onto HypervCore.

If anyone has had any success with this, I would like to hear from you.

Many Thanks

Regards
