Then 1 error on the Mailbox Role Prerequisites

I found the soultion:

Open Powershell with elevated rights using "Run As Administrator", and run
below cmdlets to install prerequisites...


a.. Import-Module ServerManager
b.. Add-WindowsFeature
NET-Framework,RSAT-ADDS,Web-Server,Web-Basic-Auth,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-Metabase,Web-Net-Ext,Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console,WAS-Process-Model,RSAT-Web-Server,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-Digest-Auth,Web-Dyn-Compression,NET-HTTP-Activation,RPC-Over-HTTP-Proxy
-Restart
c.. Set-Service NetTcpPortSharing -StartupType Automatic


(even though I had already set the NetTcpPortSharing as starting
automaticly. After I did step 2, teh system restarted and the NetTcpPort
was set at Manual. )
