Unable to install optional features in Windows 10

Docker Swarm On Debian and Hyper-V

The servers are based on Debian, have 2 processors each, with 8 gigs of ram, all 3 are running on a single Hyper-V server. I will use certificate authentication with SSH, install sudo, vim, configure networking and setup a swarm instance.

Remote Docker Instance

I'm building a multi node Docker Swarm cluster and want to connect to it from my local desktop. I'd like to use my local development tools to build all of my Docker related files and push them up to the cluster. Note, this is an unauthenticated, full access, http (not https) configuration. It is to show a remote setup. I'm starting simple. The next post will be about securing this config.

First, my overall setup. Linux/Ubuntu firewall, running iptables. 2 VLans, one for everything else. My desktop is on the client VLAN and the linux firewall acts as the gateway between both VLans and the internet. My solution, SSH into the firewall

Windows 10 - .NET 3.5

Ok, so here's the overall situation 1. Fresh Windows 10 Install 2. Installed IIS attempting to include .net 3.5 in this install - it failed pulling the package from Windows Update due to my WSUS server. 1_ Skipped the .net 3.5 and installed everything. IIS, .net 4.5, Hyper-V etc. 3. After fixing my Group Policy to pull from Windows Update I attempted to install .net 3.5 at which point I started getting a 0x800F081F during the install(among others). The fix. Uninstall IIS. Restart
