Hello there,
we have a domaincontroller running on Windows Server 2016 which has a problem with Windows Updates. I searched for the problem and in all this I found this forum and saw some great answers from you.
So hopefully you can help me (we are using a German version, so sorry if I can't type the exact English errors).
If I install Windows Updates, I get the error 0x80070246. I tried the usual fix for Windows Updates, stopping the service, renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder, restarting service, searching again, sadly the same error.
running sfc /scanow directly results in an error, it doesn't even try fo fix it.
various dism commands result in an "illegal charackter error" and a restorehealth stops at 4,5 %
The system was rebooted and the errors are still there.
If I run the SFCFix.exe straight as-is it isn't able to complete, I waited to about 40 minutes. Then I pressed the enter key and the programm finishes with 0 errors.
Because this is the only domaincontroller and also Fileserver, there is no good way to just reinstall it.
So here are a few files you might need, I used the Instructions post as reference.
SFCFix.txt on Desktop after the script ran:

And please have a look at the CBS.zip and the dism.log in the attachment. I renamed the logs prior to all the fixing, so that it creates fresh ones.
Thank you very much in advance.
