Server Manager Role Service Install Failed error 800F0818

Question
-
I attempt to install service pack 2 for exchange on my exchange server I get 800F0818 prior trying to install some pre-requisite services.
So thinking this is related to recent update I run the System Updated Readiness Tool:
Below is the log from that:

What do I need to do to get this resolved I have seen a ton of articles but nothing seems to be pointing me in the right direction.

Hello,
As I understand, you would like to add some prerequisite role services. But the error 800F0818 is received in Server Manager.
What’s the operating system? I recommend you re-run System Update Readiness Tool one more time in case the last scan missed something. If it finds any corruption, post the unedited CheckSUR report here. Also, please run System File Checker Tool (sfc /scannow) to scan the system. If still no luck, we will have to perform In-place Upgrade to repair the system. It will scan and fix the system corruption while the data and programs are not impacted.
Thanks

Since this is my only exchange server I am very leery of doing an in-place upgrade. This is a production server and I do not have a spare machine I can build for exchange.

Hello,
Check this Microsoft KB.You receive an error message in Windows Server 2008 if you click Roles under the Server Manager console
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971509
In most similar cases, the System Update Readiness Tool (SURT) can find corrupt files and the solid solution is to replace these corrupt files. While in your case, the SURT found nothing. Hence, my next suggestion is to do a backup of the server and perform In-place Upgrade.
Referring to:How to Perform an In-Place Upgrade on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 & Windows Server 2008 R2

When trying to select Select Identify in the Default Impersonation Level list.
I get 8011084 error.
I opened it back up and did it a second time with no error.
Same problem attempting to install role service.

This was not the answer. Why would you mark something as the answer that did not solve the problem?
I am still working on a solution to this.
