Windows 2008 R2 - Issues with Updates - CSI Missing - Components Hive Corrupt

[onex98]

Hello,

I'm having issues with a Windows 2008 R2 server. I'm not sure when this started so backup/restore wise I don't think going back to a restore point is viable. As far as event logs are concerned, this has been happening way past 30 days which is the limit of our backup retention.

In event viewer I'm getting {Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\??\C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost.

If I run sfc /scannow - I get no errors.

chkdsk - no errors detected.

If I run Dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth I get 175 errors of CSI Missing Identity or Deployment Key or Winning Component Key.

I have run the SURT for 2008 R2 and it fixed only 3 errors.

I have ran SFCFIX.exe and it came back with 176 errors.

I will upload all files from scans.

Hello and welcome! Apologies for the delay! Do you still require assistance?

Yes but I have made some progress on this server since by taking registry entries from a good working server on the same version and exporting them out. I will upload a new scan tomorrow with where I'm at and see if you can help fix the rest of the errors left.
