Hi,

Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Afterwards, reboot the server and try to install the Windows Backup feature. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.

There was a failure in the script. Before I restart the server and try the install, I wanted to pass the error along. I am attaching the output file.

Hi,

Could you please perform the following as well:

Download the

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:

Download the 64 bit version: - Farbar Recovery Scan Tool Link

Warning: This script was written specifically for this system. Do not run this script on another system.

• Download the attachment fixlist.txt and save it to your desktop.
• Right-click on FRST.exe and select "Run as administrator".
• Press the Fix button.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally.
• When finished, a log called Fixlog.txt will appear in the same directory the tool is run from.
• Post the logfile Fixlog.txt as attachment in your next reply.

Here is the Fixlog.txt

This looks much better, please perform a reboot and try to install the Backup Feature. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.

The install completed this time. However, I cannot locate the program inside Server Manager or the Administrative Tools folder. I also tried the command-line tool, wbadmin and the command was not found.

 

[Maxstar]

Hi,

Run the following commands and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

SFC /Scannow
DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

Right-click on the file

FRST64.exe and choose Run as administrator.

• Copy and paste the following (code) into the Search box and click the Search Files button.

wbadmin.msc

• When the scan is complete, a message will display that 'Search.txt' is saved in the same folder FRST was started from. Notepad will open this file also.
• Post the logfile Search.txt as attachment in your next reply.

During the install of Server Backup, I was not prompted to restart the server but I did restart it last night once I could not locate the application. I also tried uninstalling it and that generated an error. I will include a screenshot of that.

I am attaching the CBS logs and the Search.txt file.

The uninstall failed with the same error. Here is the updated CBS logs.

 

[Maxstar]

Could you please post the result SFCFix as well, this because the same error is reported in the latest log.

 

[dirtymac]

Here you go!

 

[Maxstar]

Mmm, please try to uninstall the backup feature with Process Monitor running. Afterwards attach the *PML trace as well as a new copy of the CBS logs.

 

[dirtymac]

Alright. Here are the files. The CBS log rolled over after the previous attempt.
Logfile.zip

 

[Maxstar]

Please open an elevated prompt and try the following command, afterwards copy the result in your next post.

DISM /Online /Disable-Feature /Featurename:WindowsServerBackup

And post the result the of the following command as well.

DISM /Online /Get-Features /Format:table > "%USERPROFILE%\desktop\Features.txt"

 

[dirtymac]

Here is a screenshot of the output, along with the CBS logs and the Features.txt.

 

[Maxstar]

Just a question: do you have the same issues installing other features?

 

[dirtymac]

I don't recall installing any other features in a long time on this machine. It was a domain controller at one point, so it would have had AD on it but that has since been removed. That was probably 2-3 years ago.

As for Features, currently it has the broken Server Backup, PowerShell, the AD PowerShell remote server tools, Network Load Balancing, .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.6. I can try to install another feature and see what happens.

 

[dirtymac]

I tried to install the Windows Internal Database and that was successful.
