hi,

according description, understanding failed install/configure windows server essentials experience role on windows server 2012.

try add serveradmin$ account logon service group policy, , check result:
default domain controller policy -> computer configuration -> policies -> windows settings -> security settings -> local policies -> user rights assignment

besides, run “dism.exe” check/repair system files.

if problem persists, please provide more information:
1. this member server or dc trying installed experience role?
2. is there existing ad domain?
3. any other role has been installed/configured on server?

best regards,
eve wang
