Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Step 1.

• 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

Here's the next fix, but I'm still searching for some other files. So DISM will fail, and hopefully only because of these files I'm still searching for.

Hi,

Great, please try to update the server. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

 

[MattiasE]

The server is updated now and everything worked great. Thank you for fixing the update-issue on the server!
