Adding Server Features Fails

Andelain · Apr 1, 2020

Hi all,

I'm trying to add DNS and DHCP services to a Windows 2012 server that already has AD services installed, am getting the "Error 0x80073701 is ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING" error. Not sure what to try next. I've attached the CBS log from that timeframe.

Thank you in advance.

Hi! Welcome to Sysnative.
This "Error 0x80073701 is ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING" usually means you are missing some system files. The below should correct it.

If you haven't already done so please do the following:

Open an elevated command prompt.

Copy and paste the below command and hit enter.

Dism /Online /Cleanup-image /Startcomponentcleanup

If it asks for a reboot then reboot.

In an elevated command prompt type
sfc /scannow
hit enter.

On the Dism I got

"Error: 14081
The referenced assembly could not be found.
The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log"

Thee SFC response was

"C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 0% complete.
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."

I attached the Dism log.

Thank you

Hi!

Step#1 - Capture Process Monitor Trace
1. Download and run Process Monitor. Leave this running while you perform the next steps.
2. Try enabling the feature just like you have in the past.
3. Stop Process Monitor as soon as it fails. You can simply do this by clicking the magnifying glass on the toolbar as shown below.

4. Select the File menu...Save... and save the file to your desktop. This is likely the default location. The name (unless changed) will be LogFile.PML. This is fine.
5. Zip up and provide the link to the LogFile.PML file as well as your CBS.log Examples of services to upload to are Dropbox or OneDrive or SendSpace.
