Windows Server 2016 Standard -, NDBFEAP03

[BiZuMs]

I've got a Windows Server 2016 Standard that I can not get to patch. This server will successfully download the patches, but whenever it is rebooted it always rolls back the updates. I have uploaded the CBS.zip and componentsScanner.txt file to this thread. I have tried everything I know how to do at this point, seems to be an odd issue.

Registry keys have been applied. Server should reboot within the next 1-2 days and I will take a peak at the Windows Update after this.

 

[PeterJ]

Ok.

 

[BiZuMs]

Server was rebooted. I checked Windows update and it does look like it successfully downloaded the updates. This server did do this last time so I will try and reboot it later to see what the result is.

 

[PeterJ]

Ok.

 

[BiZuMs]

I see this after I gave the server a reboot and attempted to install updates. I also re-attached the CBS.log file and the setupapi.dev.log file to this just in case you need it again!

Export registry

1. Click on the Start button and in the search box, type regedit.
2. When you see regedit on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
3. When regedit opens, using the left pane, navigate to the following registry key and select it by clicking on it once.
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
   
   
4. Once selected, click File > Export....
5. Change the Save as type: to Registry Hive Files (*.*)
6. Name this file Services (with no file extension) and save it to your desktop.

Right click on the Services file on your Desktop and select Send To -> Compressed (zipped) Folder.
Upload the Services.zip file to a file sharing service such as OneDrive, DropBox, SendSpace, etc. and include the link with your reply.
