Seems like it worked, dism completed successfully

 

[Maxstar]

Great, please attempt to update again, it will fail again. This because we'll need to remove some other updates and/or restore RTM components. So please provide the CBS logs after attempting to update.

 

[zwgry]

Nevermind, windows update failed with the same error code.

 

[Maxstar]

The latest CBS log shows no useful information, so please try to update again after a reboot and attach the new CBS logs.

 

[zwgry]

Alright, I will reboot the server on monday and get back to you with the logs

 

[Maxstar]

That's fine, hve a nice weekend!
