In order to investigate the new Cluster-Aware Updating function in Windows 8, I need to set up a WSUS server in my Cloud environment. However, after I install the WSUS from the "Add role and feature" in the Server Management, the function doesn't work. it keep on showing the following error.

I googled the error in this warning text,nothing found. Then I turn to investigate "System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.PrincipalOperationException". I start to consider this is caused by some feature of .NET installation. So I try to install the all functions of .NET framework.
Then I start the WSUS again, the post-installation is succeed.
