[SOLVED] Windows Server 2016 Update don't working

I'm going to sleep on this, or (head banging!) overnight to look at this problem again tomorrow!
 
no problem, i will also try something.. maybe we find a solution, i hope we can find a solution. without reinstall the server
 
Hi,

I tried DiskGenius to convert an MBR drive in the same state to GPT, but it failed. And without any third paty tools there no other option to convert the drive without losing data. I'll think it might be better to rebuild the problematic servers.
 
Hi,

OK, thanks for the help, Would it perhaps be possible to create a separate disk that would only be responsible for booting?

But I think that's a rather stupid idea. It doesn't make sense to try DiskGenius on me either, right?

I will ask our team whether I can clone the server because a critical system is running on this server. Which is not so easy to reconfigure and we would have to re-license it.
 
Hi,

Let me know if you are able to clone this server, then we can try some other things.

DiskGenius is not an option, and I don't know if other third party software will work either in this case.

When you are able to clone this server we can try an in-place-upgrade from the Server 2016 ISO to see what happens. Maybe it will restore the failed MBR > GPT conversion?
 
So,

I Can create a Snapshot and we can do the Inplace Upgrade, because this Server is not really critical.

Or is this a bad solution?
 
Hi,

Yes you can try to perform an in-place upgrade using the following instructions.

In-place upgrade Server 2016
  • Mount the Windows Server ISO and run Setup.exe.
  • Use the option Download and install updates, drivers (recommended) and click Next.
  • In the next screen select the image you want to install.

  • Depending on your Windows Server version and license, you may see a screen prompting you to enter the licensing key.
  • Then accept the EULA. To perform a in-place upgrade, you need to check keep personal files and apps. Then click Next.

  • After clicking Next, an upgrade process will start checking for updates, when this is ready click install to start the in-place upgrade.
 
I only found a Datacenter ISO

What is Really strange is, is following Error Screen:

Why Windows 10?

Windows Server 2016 is based on Windows 10 build (1607 - 14393.xxx), and Windows Server 2019 is based on Windows 10 build (1809 - 17763.xxx).

Please run the following command in an elevated prompt to see which version is installed, I'll think it will show ServerStandard.
Code: 
DISM /Online /Get-CurrentEdition
 
Have you copied the Windows Server ISO to the local C drive, or is the ISO mounted as a disk drive into Hyper-V from another source?
