[SOLVED] Server 2016 essentials upgrade to standard dism error

[chmichael]

Hello,
I am trying to upgrade Server 2016 essentials to standard but it says it can't due dism errors ?
DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth and Sfc /Scannow report no errors btw.

Command:
dism /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:XXXXX /AcceptEula

Any ideas ?

Thank you

Hi,

Please attach the latest CBS logs.

Upload a copy of the CBS folder

• Open Windows Explorer and browse to the C:\Windows\Logs folder.
• Right-click on the CBS folder and choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
• Now the message will appear, "Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here. Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?"
• Click on the Yes button here.

• Attach the file CBS.zip to your next reply.

Follow these instructions to remove an update.

• When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following command into it, then press enter.

I got: The update KB4601318 is not installed on this computer. Is it needed to remove it manually ?

Download the

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:

Great, please try to upgrade to Server 2016 Standard again. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.
