    Cannot install OpenSSH client or server optional features in Windows Server 2019


    Hello Experts, When I try to install the SSH Server and Client optional features in Windows Server 2019 it fails. They do not install. In the settings -> Manage Optional Features menu, it looks like they start but never complete and then show up back in the list of available features. This is only happening on one server. We have tried to reboot, and it did not fix the issue. SFC /scannow did not help, neither did the dism /cleanup-image /scanhealth command. Also tried installing using powershell with no luck. The powershell command add-windowsCapability -online -name OpenSSH.Server~~~0.0.

    :)

    OpenSSH Server / client on W2K16 server

    Hi there
    running a W2K16 server as a VM - seems the the optional features install don't include the openSSH server or client -- I'm using the Desktop experience standard edition of W2K16 server

    However using the powershell command from within the VM both products get installed easily enough :

    # Install the OpenSSH Client
    Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Client~~~~0.0.1.0

    You should see this Path :
    Online : True
    RestartNeeded : False

    For OPENSSH server (you need this if Windows is to be able to SEND files via sftp etc etc)

    # Install the OpenSSH Server
    Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Server~~~~0.0.1.0

    Again you should see this

    Path :
    Online : True
    RestartNeeded : False

    Whether or not the product is available via the "add optional features" might depend on edition and DVD image of your server -- there's a whole slew of optional editions for W2K16 server. (W2K19 server is simpler in that regard but is still missing bits and pieces if you are trying to use these servers as desktops). They run nice and fast though as VM's !!

    Cheers
