[SOLVED] LServer_PKConfig.xml Hash Mismatch - sfc/scannow

[rnotek]

When we run sfc/scannow on our Windows Server Datacenter 2019 EC2 instance, we are getting the following error in the CBS.log file:

I've tried running dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth but it fails with Error 0x800f081f "The source files could not be found".

Has anyone successfully fixed this error? Thanks!

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

This corrupt file is a component of Server 2019, not of Windows Server 2016 as indicated in the post above? This must be a typo I guess?

 

[rnotek]

Yes, apologies...Windows Server 2019....typo.

No problem, here's the fix to replace the corrupt file.

Step 1. 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.

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

Looks like that fixed it. Thank you. I've seen in other threads where this issue has come back...hopefully not the case here.

Hi,

You're welcome. This is a common issue on servers, but most of the times the issue does not returns after it has been fixed.
