Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Step 1. Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Step 2. Run the following DISM command and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

Hi,

Export CBS (Component Based Servicing) hive

• Click on the Start button and type regedit
• When you see regedit on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator.
• When regedit opens, using the left pane, navigate to the following registry key and select it by clicking on it once.
  

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing

• Once selected, click File > Export....
• Change the Save as type: to Registry Hive Files (*.*).
  
  
  
  
  
• Name this file ComponentBasedServicing (with no file extension) and save it to your Desktop.
• Right-click on the saved file and choose Send > Compressed (zipped) Folder.
• Attach the .ZIP file to your next post.
• If the file is too large to upload here, upload the file to www.wetransfer.com and post the link in your next reply.

I have attached the CBS hive as requested.

 

[Maxstar]

Do you have recent backups of this server, this because subkey (Packages) is completely empty which cause the "Get-Features" issue.

 

[acerda]

No, I don't have a backup. The machine is an Azure VM, I was looking for a solution before recreating it from zero since I have a few things installed I don't want to reinstall.

 

[Maxstar]

Do you have a similar server running? Then we could try to import the packages subkey from that machine!

 

[acerda]

Yes, I have a very similar VM Azure Server which we can use fror that.

 

[Maxstar]

Could you please provide a copy of the Component Based Servicing hive from that machine.

Retrieve CBS (Component Based Servicing) hive through the command line

• Open the Start menu of Windows and type CMD.
• When you see Command Prompt on the list, select the option Run as administrator.
• Copy and paste the following commands one at a time into the command prompt and press enter after each.

REG Save "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing" "%temp%\CBS.hiv"
PowerShell Compress-Archive -Path "%temp%\CBS.hiv" -DestinationPath "%userprofile%\Desktop\CBS-Hive.zip"

• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called CBS-Hive.zip.
• Attach this file as attachment to your next reply.

 

[acerda]

I have attached the requested file.

 

[Maxstar]

Sorry, but the packages subkey from this copy of the CBS hive differ to much to use ase replacement. So I would suggest to perform a repair installation using the Windows Server 2016 ISO, or reinstall this server from scratch.

Server 2016 in-place upgrade

• Mount the Windows Server ISO and run Setup.exe. You can use the Microsoft Evaluation Centre to download the ISO files.
• Use the option Download updates, drivers, and optional features (recommended) and click Next.
• Depending on your Windows Server version and license, you may see a screen prompting you to enter the licensing key.
• In the next screen, select the image of the installed Windows Server edition and click Next.
• Then accept the EULA. To perform a in-place upgrade, you need to check keep personal files and apps. Then click Next.
• After clicking Next, an upgrade process will start checking for updates, when this is ready click install to start the in-place upgrade.
