2014 SP2 - AppFab Install error

Symptoms

I am installing AppFab on the server. The install of AppFab looks OK. But when I run the PS1 file to create the cache I see the errors in Powershell

Resoltion

The issue was that the Cache server was part of a Workgroup and not a Domain. Follow the instructions for setup when  server is in a Workgroup
