My Notes of my 1st Win2k8R2 build
Boot up the server form the install DVD, take the standard USA default settings. Why? Because I set this to UK English and the DISM failed to work. I read on technet that a fellar in Spain had a similar issue installing Hyper-V, avoided his work around, by rebuilding the server and taking the standard default USA locale settings.

So once you have installed all the remote support options...weyhey I hear you say, well....so far Server Manager still wont remote manage the server...still investigating.
So next step install the role you want (in my case printer role) and you can use the DISM for that...and it fails...so I turned to Powershell(aka POSH) and the use of the get-featrue cmdlet...and surprise surprise the cmdlet is unavailable...so what is a Techy Geek like me gonna do...and crying is ssssoooo beneath me.....I returned to technet inspiration came from this blog Print Services
 The steps that installed the print services are.....from the CLI
1 dism /online /get-features (this apparently enables something!!!)
2 dism /online /enable-feature /featurename=Printing-ServerCore-Role (install 64-bit printing)
3 dism /online /enable-feature /featurename=Printing-ServerCore-Role-WOW64 (install 32-bit printing)
4 And for completeness dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Printing-LPDPrintService (installs line printing)

Might be best you use OCSETUP ocsetup link1 Link2 Link3 DISM got a hook in to me and I just had to see it through
