SFCFix will connect your sysnative servers

[ITDade]

I work in a company where there is IT support, however I like to do my own troubleshooting. Now I am trying to run SFCFix butI see this message saying "SFCFix will connect your sysnative servers" and I am hesitant to do it because it will probably create some red flags in my acccount and I might be contacted by our internal InFoSec department. What explanation I can ggive to them on why I need to do this and what activity goes on on the remote server? is there a way to have full functionality with the tool w/o contacting the sysnative servers?

Hello and welcome!

SFCFix looks for a new version on each startup. In order for it to do that, it has to connect to Sysnative servers, but feel free to run it in offline mode as there haven't been any updates lately. I'm more interested in seeing the actual CBS.log

Be sure to provide OS version as well.

Retrieve Components Hive
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The file will likely be too large to upload here so please upload to a file sharing service and just provide the link here.

I already ran the 5 steps including the SFC scan and found no issues, is the components still needed?

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Yes, please. There is a corruption somewhere and I need to verify where and see if it is fixable.

Please create a new local account and call it Test, give it Admin privileges and run DISM RestoreHealth Scan and attach CBS.log.
