you can use -source option on non-internet connected machine.  here steps:

  • create folder mount windows imaging file (wim) in command
    mkdir c:\mountdir
  • determine index number server datacenter using command @
    elevated command prompt: dism /get-wiminfo
    /wimfile:<drive>:sources\install.wim
  • mount wim file using command @ elevated command prompt:
    dism /mount-wim /wimfile:<drive>:\sources\install.wim
    /index:<#_from_step_2> /mountdir:c:\mountdir /readonly

  • start windows powershell , run cmdlet:install-windowsfeature server-gui-mgmt-infra,server-gui-shell –restart
    –source c:\mountdir\windows\winsxs

  • alternatively, if want use windows update source instead of
    wim file, use windows powershell cmdlet:install-windowsfeature server-gui-mgmt-infra,server-gui-shell
    –restart
