DISM Restore Health returns - The array bounds are invalid

[Pratham]

Hello,
Thanks for having this forum, i always refer this and it helps me a lot troubleshooting win issues.

I have a unique issue that I am seeing for first time -
I have a Win 2016 server, where we cannot install Defender.
It errors out with -

:43:50, Error CSI 0000000a (F) HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING) #7656# from Windows::ServicingAPI::CCSITransaction::ICSITransaction_PinDeployment(Flags = 0, a = a3d874599429ecb6a05e964bc86e8ace, version 10.0.14393.2999, arch amd64, nonSxS, pkt {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, cb = (null), s = (null), rid = 'Package_7587_for_KB4593226~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.5.4593226-15573_neutral', rah = '2', manpath = (null), catpath = (null), ed = 0, disp = 0)[gle=0x80073701]

KB4593226 is already installed.

When I run DISM restore health providing source as health server
Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:\\WorkingServer\C$\

It throws error - 1734 - The Array bounds are invalid

I am attaching CBS and DISM for reference.

Thank you!

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Hi,

Step 1. Start the

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool again.

Warning: This script was written specifically for this system. Do not run this script on another system.

• 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.

Step 2. Run the following DISM command and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth
