IIS extension is not working - WAC 1909

IIS is running and working on my Windows Server 2019 LTSC. on WAC 1909, I installed IIS extension, then when I click on it it asks me to install IIS administration on my server

 

 

 

clicked on the install, waited few minutes, restarted my server, restarted WAC, logged back in, then I get this error:

 

"Unknown error has occurred when trying to initialize Web Server Module: "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized."

 

 

Am i missing something or is this a bug?

thanks

    A couple things to check on the server machine:

    1. In `%ProgramFiles%\IIS Administration\2.3.0\Microsoft.IIS.Administration\config\appsettings.json`, does the following exist

     

        "users": {
          "administrators": [
            "IIS Administration API Owners"
          ],
          "owners": [
            "IIS Administration API Owners"
          ]
        },

     

    2. Does this group `IIS Administration API Owners` exist on your server?

    3. Are you in this group (as IIS extension should have added you to the group)
