Yes, routing and remote access is installed, but it is not active or configured. And yes, I am using a dedicated NIC. I know that drivepool is the issue, because uninstalling it is what allowed me to uninstall forefront client.

I can confirm that this is not limited to the Essentials role. My Server is running 2012 R2 Datacenter and only has Hyper-V and DNS roles installed. And I'm also unable to uninstall at this time.
