I have an Azure VM running Nano Server 1709. I am trying to figure out how to install IIS on it, with little luck.

I have tried following the tutorial but I am unable to get remote access to the VM. I've opened ports 5985/5986 in the Network Security Group and the local machine firewall,but I still can't access it.

I tried executing the commands at the console of the VM and got this error:

PS C:\Windows> install-nanoserverpackage -name Microsoft-NanoServer-Storage-Package
install-nanoserverpackage : Add-WindowsPackage failed. Error code = 0x800f081e
At line:1 char:1
+ install-nanoserverpackage -name Microsoft-NanoServer-Storage-Package
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Install-NanoServerPackage

How can I install IIS with my one VM, either locally at the console or remotely?

You're looking at the instructions for Windows Server 2016 Nano Server.

Windows Server 1709 Nano Server is NOT an update/upgrade to Windows Server 2016. It's the first product of the new Semi-Annual Release Channel.

Here's some info on that.

Windows Server 1709 Nano Server can only be deployed as a container image, not a VM. Here's that info.

Once you have Windows Server 1709 Nano Server deployed to a container, these are the steps you have to follow to get IIS running in that environment (instructions start about a quarter of the page down).
