Windows Server 2016 CBS corruption

[theitking]

To whom it may concern

I am having an issue where this server will not let me update it with a Cumulative Update using ConnectWise Automate. But the server does allow me to install the cumulative update manually by downloading it from the Microsoft Catalogue.
Connectwise have informed me that the CBS is corrupt and that it needs to be repaired to resolve this issue.

I have attempted the following but have received the Error: 1734.

I have attached the CBS folder in the attached CBS.zip file.

Commands run from an elevated Command Prompt

Hi, I have run the SFCFix and it returned this txt file.

Looking good.

Perform the commands SFC and DISM as you did in your initial post and report the result.

Hi, thanks for this, the device returned a result of "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations"

Great. Check Windows Update again and report the result
