[SOLVED] Server 2016 (Standard) not updating properly and other issues

EPLTechBH · Aug 29, 2024

Hey there! I've been trying to fix a server that won't update properly, and just a day or two ago stopped being able to allow RemoteApp connections for our users (RDP to desktop still works though). I've been messing around with it all day but nothing helps. Most importantly, "sfc /scannow" finds corruption but can't fix it, and DISM is unable to find a source, even when it's mounted and pointed to explicitly. ComponentsScanner took about 2 hours to run and found many warnings, but no errors. When running SFCFix it either crashes immediately, or it gets to step 6 of the scan and then crashes.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Here's the first fix with replacement files.

Step 1. Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

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.

Step 2. Run the following DISM command and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

Code:

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

EPLTechBH · Sep 5, 2024

DISM Result (Failure):

Code:

Error: 0x800f081f

The source files could not be found.
Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

I've attached a new version of CBS.zip, SFCFix.txt, and also dism.log just in case you need it.

The current Components Store is pretty big, and partially cleaned up seen the reported warnings.
