I seem to have run into this bug while attempting to create a DFS replication group: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4049095/value-does-not-fall-within-the-expected-range-error-when-you-change
The server in question is 2012, not 2012R2. I am fully patched but thought I would try to install the "equivalent" of the patch listed for 2012R2 (which is KB4075212). So, I tried installing KB4075213, however, I receive a "the update is not applicable to your computer"
So on to the workarounds, I tried to use the DFS commands to create a replication group, however, none of the commands are recognized. I double checked, and yes, the DFS management tools are installed.
Next, I tried to uninstall .net 4.7, however, they aren’t "programs". I found out what version I have with regedit and I am on 4.7.1. I assume these are deployed through windows update but none of the KBxxxxxxx show up in the "installed updates" tab of Windows Update: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/migration-guide/how-to-determine-which-versions-are-installed
Can .net 4.7.2 and 4.7.1 be removed from command line/Powershell? Or has anyone been able to get it to work with the "fix" installed? (like I said, I believe the fix they are referring to is installed so I think their fix doesn’t work).
This server is Server2012 Datacenter and is fully patched. As it’s a production file server, it will be hard for me to schedule reboots during the week, so keep that in mind

On Windows Server 2012 (regardless of flavor) .Net Framework is a Windows Update Component and not a Program. So you should look up that stuff under "Installed updates" by KB number. Yes, I know it's painful, but that's the way it is.. To spare you some pain, here's my notes on the issue:
Windows Server 2012 (non-R2):
Windows Server 2012 R2:
