[b5turbo]

As per the thread title, when I attempt to remove "Roles and Features" from a server [HTJB], the error message 0x80073701 is returned.
I've attached the following files:

• CBS.zip
• ComponentsScanner.txt
  

Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

Hi,

Here's the next fix.

Start the

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool again.

• Download the attachment fixlist.txt and save it to your desktop.
• Right-click on FRST.exe and select "Run as administrator".
• Press the Fix button.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally.
• When finished, a log called Fixlog.txt will appear in the same directory the tool is run from.
• Post the logfile Fixlog.txt as attachment in your next reply.

Great, please try to remove any role or feature again and let me know the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.

Hi Maxstar,

I'm happy to report that I am now able to successfully remove roles and features from the server.

Thank you so much!
