Hello Everyone,

I'm new on www.sysnative.com.

We have a problem with Windows Update on VM with Windows Server 2019. When i install any update on this windows server, we always get error number 0x800703f1.

Resetting of Windows Update service and its components not working.



Regards.

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Replace the SCHEMA.DAT file

• Download the attached Schema.zip file and save it to your desktop, right-click on it and select Extract all.
• Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\SMI\Store\Machine and rename the SCHEMA.DAT file to SCHEMA.old
• Copy the SCHEMA.DAT file on your desktop into the above directory.

Afterwards reboot the server and attempt to update. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.
