We’d all like to think our company’s data is well protected, but when you ask IT professionals they admit the data probably is not as safe as it could be.
Cannot install .net 3.5 as feature on Windows Server 2012 R2
We are failing from multiple methods to get this installed. We've used the Server Manager, PowerShell and DSIM from an elevated command prompt.
We have the 2012R2 ISO mounted as X: and an alternative path as X:\Sources\sxs
Here are the command lines we've used without success:

Shaun. Both of those location X:\sources\sxs and C:\sxs are the side by side files from the install disk, X is that actual ISO we just copied to C to speed things up.

Yes we ran the verifier and the Fix tools. Fix said it couldn't fix it and shipped a bunch of logs to Microsoft....probably useless as it didn't allow is to add any contact info...attached below.

Maybe also try running SFC. Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator and run SFC /SCANNOW. Allow to complete and then (at a convenient moment) restart the server and test.
If DISM did not correct, if all the other things did not correct, and if SFC does not correct, you may need to try a Repair Install on the server.
