Server 2012 Server Core powershell not installed

Solution 1:

Use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM.exe) tool to enable PowerShell:

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:MicrosoftWindowsPowerShellRoot

...or if that's not enough:

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:MicrosoftWindowsPowerShell /all

Solution 2:

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:MicrosoftWindowsPowerShellRoot
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:MicrosoftWindowsPowerShell /all

Say "yes" for reboot.
