I am trying to install OpenSSH on a Windows Server 2019 machine in an environment without external network access and with a configured proxy at "http://10.99.99.99:80". I am using PowerShell with administrative privileges and have set the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables as follows:
$Proxy = "http://10.99.99.99:80"
$ENV:HTTP_PROXY=$proxy
$ENV:HTTPS_PROXY=$proxy
However, when I try to install OpenSSH using the following command:
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Server~~~~0.0.1.0
I receive the following error:
Add-WindowsCapability : Add-WindowsCapability failed. Error code = 0x800f0954 At line:1 char:1 + Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Server~~~~0.0.1.0 + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Add-WindowsCapability], COMException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Dism.Commands.AddWindowsCapabilityCommand
Other Invoke-WebRequests I am making seem to have proxy access, but the Add-WindowsCapability command is not working. I am unable to resolve this issue.
