Cannot get AppFabric installed on Windows Server 2016
I'm installing SharePoint 2016 on Server 2016, using the shared roles option. Everything installs ok except for AppFabric, I can't get Distributed Cache to start.
The error in central admin is...
- If you're not familiar with it, you didn't use it :) Usually what you'd do is set all your DistCache parameters (service account, memory usage) prior to introducing a 2nd DC host, but if you need to deploy a DC+FE host, you can use that parameter to prevent DC from provisioning.
If DC is truly not working, you need a new farm. Certain things are only provisioned when the first DC host is introduced to the farm.
My only recommendations would be to set the memory value appropriately for your environment and swap out the service account for a non-privileged account.

Hi Trevor,
When trying the PowerShell to update Distributed Cache, I get this error:
