Hi,

Open an elevated command prompt and run the following commands. Attach Fileinfo.txt to your next post.

dir /s /a %systemroot%\WinSxS\amd64_networkcontroller-tools-deployment_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.20348.202_none_b750ca8a0ed25bf3 > "%userprofile%\Desktop\Fileinfo.txt"
certutil -hashfile %systemroot%\WinSxS\Manifests\amd64_networkcontroller-tools-deployment_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.20348.202_none_b750ca8a0ed25bf3.manifest > "%userprofile%\Desktop\Fileinfo.txt"

Hi, thanks for the support.
I ran both commands.
The first command tells me "FILE NOT FOUND"
The second one was successful.

I attach fileinfo.txt

I'll need to rebuild a Windows Server 2022 VM with some old updates and the Italian Language Pack so this may take some time.

 

[Veleno92]

I understand, I'll wait, thanks

 

[Maxstar]

Unfortunately, a new installation with the EN_US ISO does not contain the RTM IT-it files which we need as fix. So now I'm installing the Italian ISO, although I don't speak a word of Italian....

 

[Veleno92]

I’m sorry for the inconvenience. I find myself in almost the same situation with English, in fact I use google translator

 

[Maxstar]

No problem at all, but here's the first fix.

Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

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

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Afterwards reboot the server only and try to convert the license to Standard using DISM.

 

[Veleno92]

Thanks, something is moving

done everything, now the error is different...

I also attach DISM.zip and CBS.zip

Hi,

Here's the next fix.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFixScript.txt and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFixScript.txt file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.

Hello and thanks again for the support.

I will try this procedure this evening after 8pm.

The server is operational up to that time and I cannot restart it.

Thanks again.

 

[Maxstar]

You're welcome. You can also run the following command, this will also trigger error 2 if other components are missing too.

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

 

[Veleno92]

Can I run this command even before doing the second fix procedure?

 

[Maxstar]

No, please run SFCFix first and then run DISM.

 

[Veleno92]

OK thank you
