Thanks Steven yes I have similar also by checking the registry I build a
list of the missing features so in theory if all the needed features are
active I should not need to run DISM.
As I said my main issue is with the seemingly random nature of what happens
when DISM is run on the one PC starting from a fixed point just after
installing Windows I have seen it work with no error, error out with the
error 0x800f0906 and require the PC to be restarted before IIS is active. I
was hoping that there might be a more reliable way than using DISM of
activating the IIS.
