Windows Server 2016 - DISM 0x800f081f

[PeterJ]

Do you have access to a similar Windows Server 2016 machine ?
Maybe we can use that one as a source to repair the machine in this thread.

Yeah I can use other VM or create new 2016 (fully updated).

 

[PeterJ]

We need some files from an original install. It should not be updated at all.
I've downloaded several ISO's to create VM's but they all contain updates causing them to be useless to fix your machine.
For example, check if your VM contains the folder c:\windows\winsxs\amd64_dual_bth.inf_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.14393.0_none_87b2107a960928a5
If so, zip that folder and attach the zip file to your next reply.

Managed to find it on one of VM's - attached to post.

 

[PeterJ]

All these files are compressed and not usable. Can you find them uncompressed on another VM ?

 

[the0dor]

It was a hell of a lot of searching, but I found it

Step 1:
WARNING! The following fix is specific to the user's system in this thread only. No one else should follow these instructions, as it could damage your system.

• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it on your desktop.
• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• 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.
• Attach the file to your next reply.

Step 2:
Restart the machine.
Run the command sfc /scannow in an elevated commandprompt and report the result.
If it fails, copy the file C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\cbs.log to your desktop.
Zip the copied file and attach the zipped cbs.log to your next reply.

SFCFix applied. Logs after SFCFIX (success), sfc (no errors) and dism attached.

Great, the latest fix worked.
