Remove-ADComputer - The directory service can perform the requested operation only on a leaf object

I was performing server account clean up in AD an received the following error when running the Remove-ADComputer PowerShell cmdlet.

The directory service can perform the requested operation only on a leaf object

 

 It turns out, this server was not a leaf object.  Since it had child objects the Remove-ADObject cmdlet must be used to remove it from the domain. 

Running the following command removed the server from the domain:

get-adcomputer -identity servername | remove-adobject -recursive

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /all /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:X:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

After the install completes, disconnect the cd rom from the VM and restart the server:

I reran the agent install and it completed successfully:
