Good evening folks! I have run into some trouble installing the Windows Server Backup feature on a Server 2016 Standard install (bare metal and not vm). I don't actually need this feature, rather I just wanted to test it for another server. Anyway, the server complained about needing an alternate path. I tried using the install media I used and that did not work. I also tried an identical install (same version, same hardware) and that did not work. I normally use WSUS but I currently have it disabled on this server as part of the troubleshooting process.
I ran "sfc /scannow" and "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth". I found KB4598243 mentioned a number of times in the CBS log. I then ran SFCFix and no errors were found. I used FRST64 to do a search for KB4598243 and found number mentions of it in that log. I also ran the ComponentScanner.
I am attaching the logs in hopes that someone has a suggestion. Thanks!
