[SOLVED] Windows Server 2012 Standard failing all updates

[dburns]

Hi,

I have an issue on a Windows Server 2012 machine that is failing all updates.

I have tried running the attached scripts to reset the updates and store and have tried installing the updates individually by downloading them from the Microsoft Catalog, but every time, the updates fail and the machine is reverted

When I ran the SFCFix it completed with "no corruptions detected"

I have uploaded my CBS folder here - https://bit.ly/2pP0IqP

I have also uploaded my scripts and results

Many thanks

Hi!

I can't access your CBS folder.

Hi,

I have private messaged you with a link to the files

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Hi!

The files do not contain personal information. If they did, we would not ask for them to be published on a public forum.

Hi

I haven't heard back from you in over a week.

Have you had chance to look at my files yet please?

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

I'm waiting for the files.

 

[dburns]

I sent them to you via PM

Here they are again - CBS.zip and 1 more file

We don't provide PM assistance.

Do updates revert or just fail with an error code?

 

[dburns]

I think they just fail after a restart. Sorry it's a VM and I can't remember.

It's on a live server that I don't get much opportunity to reboot, otherwise I would reboot now for you

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

No worries, can you navigate to C:\Windows\Inf and provide the setupapi.dev.log?

 

[dburns]

Yes no problem. Please see attached

Thanks. Please do the following:

Step#1 - FRST Scan

1. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
2. Right-click FRST64.exe and click Run as Administrator to run it as administrator. When the tool opens, click Yes to disclaimer.
3. Please ensure you place a check mark in the Addition.txt check box at the bottom of the form before running (if not already checked).
4. Press Scan button.
5. It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from (which should now be the desktop)
6. Please attach the log back here.
7. Another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST64.exe) will be generated Please also attach that along with the FRST.txt in your reply.

Hi,

Please see attached

Can you please remove McAfee temporarily and see if that makes a difference?

 

[dburns]

I can disable it then try. Is that any good?

To remove it will take more reboots than I have time for as I have to restart it out of hours

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Not really. I can wait, it's no issue.

Hi,

I have removed McAfee, rebooted the server and tried to install the updates, but during reboot it is "reverting" and all updates apart from the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool have failed

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Please attach CBS.log and setupapi.dev.log.

Here you go
