Many thanks Simon. All fixed now.
What was the resolution to this issue? I have downloaded a fresh download of SP3 and am receiving this error?
I had the exact same problem (installing Exchange 2010 SP3 on Windows 2012).
I ran this in Powershell to fix:
Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-ADDS
I had been following the
Exchange 2010 Prerequisites (last modified 2013-02-26) TechNet article to "Install the Windows Server 2012 operating system prerequisites" but obviously this pre-requisite was missing for me.
