Hi there,

Windows server 2019, 1809 (OS Build 17763.3650) - refuses to install updates
If I'm not mistaken this server was upgraded to Server 2019 - from Server 2012R2 not long ago.

Here's the out - when running sfc /scannow:

C:\>sfc /scannow

Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at
windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline
repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag
And then trying the DISM command:

C:\>dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.17763.3406

Image Version: 10.0.17763.3650

[===========================99.2%========================= ]
Error: 0x800f0954

DISM failed. No operation was performed.
For more information, review the log file.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

Attached files: cbs.zip, componentsscanner.txt, chkdsk-result.txt.

Thanks in advance!

Looking over your logs, may take a while, back as soon as I've finished.

In the meantime ....

  • Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
  • Please copy this file to your desktop.
  • Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again.
  • Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To...Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
  • The file will likely be too large to upload here, if so please upload to a file sharing service.
  • Examples of services to upload to are WeTransfer and TransferKit and SendFileOnline

Please post me the link to the file
 
Take your time Gary!

Can't zip the components file (file is in-use) - even after reboot.
Might try to boot to safe-mode and get it that way.

I will be back
 
If you can't get it to zip, try the following ....

  • Open Regedit (run as Administrator)
  • In the left hand column click on HKey_Local_Machine to open it
  • In its sub-key menu click on COMPONENTS to select it.
  • Click on File and in the file menu click on Unload Hive.
  • Allow any prompts and once the COMPONENTS hive is unloaded, exit out of Regedit.

Now try zipping your COMPONENTS hive.
 
Hi Gary.

That did the trick (actually I had to first load it - and then unload it in registry - to pull it off).
Attached components.zip

Latest log is not flagging anything, so please try updating.

If successful please let me know.

If not, please post the CBS.log created after your update attempt.
 
Unfortunately Windows update fails.
A restart of the server doesn't make any difference.

Need to consult with my colleagues, your latest CBS.log is not telling me a lot (or at least it's not entirely clear what it is telling me).

May be a while before I get back to you, but I'll be as quick as I can.
 
Please can you do the following ....

  • Run the command SFC /SCANNOW in an elevated command prompt and report the result.

Next ...

Once the SFC scan has finished ...

  • Open Windows Explorer and browse to the ... C:\Windows\Logs\CBS ... folder.
  • Right click on it, and select ... Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder
  • A message will appear stating, "Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here. Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?"
    • Answer Y to create a folder CBS.zip on your Desktop.
  • Please attach it to your next post.
    • If the file is too large, please upload it to a file sharing service and provide the link to it in your next reply.
    • Examples of services to upload to are WeTransfer and TransferKit and SendFileOnline
 
Sorry for the long wait, latest log didn't show what I'd expected, so have been consulting to see what (if anything) I'd missed.

Please try updating your computer again.

When it fails (as I expect it will), please post me the CBS.log created after the update attempt.

Also, please do the following ....

  • Open a search and type Powershell
  • Right click on the Powershell icon and select (Run as Administrator) to open a Powershell window.
  • At the prompt type ... Get-WindowsUpdateLog ... and then hit return.
  • Windows will collect details of your updates and when finished create a logfile ... WindowsUpdate.log ... on your Desktop.
  • Please post me that log
 
Is this server connected to a WSUS server and which proxy-settings are set?

What protective programs do you have installed (AV, Firewall) ?
 
Yes the server gets the updates from our SCCM (ConfigMgr, MECM) setup - port 8530.
(even if I seek online - via Microsoft update - the server bogs down)

Windows Defender and Windows Firewall

I could try to download a single update - and update by hand?

OK, give that a try, and let me know how things go.
