[SOLVED] Windows Server 2019 - Update Fail 0x80070003 since months

Dear forum members,

my name is david lorenz from aaic soft systems gmbh in leipzig (germany). You already know me from the following post:

[SOLVED] - Windows Server 2019 Standard with Exchange 2019 - Update Fail 0x80073712

We have had problems with two customer VMs with the Windows Server 2019 Standard operating system for a long time. Exchange Server 2019 is running on one system and Acronis Backup on the other. Exchange and .net updates are running smoothly. However, the system no longer installs cumulative Windows updates.

The error is 0x80070003. I have already read in and put the "SFCFix.exe" file on the desktop. I've also attached the logs and component file on we transfer "COMPONENTS.zip". It's all about the Exchange server. I make a new entry for the other server.

I have documented the errors with the following time stamps:

SONSRVEXC: Install 12:00
Restart 13:33
Error 13:36:40 (reboot)
Undo 13:38:24 (reboot again)
Error: 0x80070003

We have already tried the following:
- Allow the software distribution folder to be recreated
- DISM and Chkdsk
- Manual update installation (msp)
- Installation of the last service stack update (successful)
- Event viewer control

Maybe one of you can help us here. Unfortunately I cannot understand the logs.

Thank you in advance and have a pleasant rest of the week!

Hi,

Open Windows Explorer and browse to the C:\Windows\INF folder.
Right-click on the file setupapi.dev.log and choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
Now the message will appear, "Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here. Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?"
Click on the Yes button here.

Attach the file setupapi.dev.zip in your next reply.

Hi,

Export registry key as hive file.

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.

Code:

reg save "HKLM\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DriverPackages" "%userprofile%\Desktop\DriverPackages.hiv"

Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called DriverPackages.hiv.
ZIP this file and attach it to your next reply.

Upload your DRIVERS Hive

Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config and locate the DRIVERS file.
Please copy this file to your desktop.
Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again.
Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named DRIVERS.ZIP on your desktop.
If the file is too large to upload here, upload the file to www.wetransfer.com and post the link in your next reply.

This looks better, please reboot the server and attempt to update. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log and setupapi.dev.log.

AAIC - David Lorenz · Apr 4, 2023

I will test it. The .Net (2023-02) fails with 0x80073701. The Comulative (2023-03) trys to install. It installs at 3%. I will send you a update the next minutes. Maybe with the logs.

AAIC - David Lorenz · Apr 4, 2023

Hello @Maxstar ,

now the commulative updates installation works. Thank you for that! But the .Net Updates doesent work like before.

There are the timings:

-> .Net 0x80073701 (11:44)
-> Wind (restart 12:00 & works)
-> again .Net = fail 12:07

Maxstar · Apr 4, 2023

Please do the following to fix the .NET issue.

Follow these instructions to install an update with DISM.

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 command into it, and press enter. (Leave the CMD window open!)

Code:

MD C:\WUTemp

Now, download the following update (KB5017263) to: C:\WUTemp - Or copy this file from the download directory to C:\WUTemp. (Important!)
Downloadlink: KB5017263
Copy and paste the following commands one at a time into the command prompt and press enter after each.

Code:

CD C:\WUTemp
EXPAND.exe windows10.0-kb5017263-x64-ndp48_bbc9586178ba2f66be2a58ef7c6b4d2362b7bdfe.msu -f:* C:\WUTemp
DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\WUtemp\Windows10.0-KB5017263-x64-NDP48.cab

Let me know if it says it was successful or if there are any errors. Or take a screenshot of the command prompt window and paste it into your next reply.
