Very good. Please try running SFC again and attach CBS.log when it completes.

Hi there,

Same problem I'm afraid regarding the error in CMD

I'd like to try resetting the transaction manager to see if that makes any difference.

Clear Transactional Logfiles

Same problem with SFC /scannow I'm afraid. Restarted after your command and before I tried to run it too.

Was worth a try. I don't know of anything else to try unfortunately.

In some cases with transaction manager problems there is an underlying disk issue. Is this server running RAID and has it recently experienced any disk failures, power outage, etc.?

Heh, don't worry. This is the only machine I've ever not managed to fix updates on so thought I'd give you guys a go as a last resort!

Thanks for trying, will just rebuild and migrate.

It's a VM which hasn't had any problems with the underlying disk. I think it's just FUBAR
