Win Server 2016 - DISM problem - source not found

[djschiggy]

Hello,

currently facing some trouble with my Windows Server 2016. It runs as a VM via Hyper-V on another Windows Server 2016. After making some windows updates, rebooting fails to a bluescreen.

Already mounted the VHD on the physical machine (mounted as i:) and tried to solve the error by DISM /image:i: /cleanup-image /restorehealth , worked for some files, but there are still 9 corrupt ones.

DISM leaves the error, that the source files can't be found. Adding a source to some other Windows Server 2016 images won't work.

DISM log is attached.

Anyone got a clue what to do?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

just mangaged to fix the DISM error with the corrupt files, /scanhealth now says that everything is fine, LOG attached.

Unfortunately, the VM-server is still not booting.

Anyone got an idea what else I can do?

Thanks!

Hi!

What does the BSOD say?

 

[djschiggy]

Not really much, just: process1_initialization_failed without any further error codes

Thank you.

Please navigate to C:\Windows\system32\codeintegrity and delete the bootcache.ini file.

Deleted the bootchache.ini, still BSOD with same error.
