Hi,
Upload the SCHEMA.DAT file
- Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\SMI\Store\Machine and copy the SCHEMA.DAT file to your desktop.
- Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named SCHEMA.ZIP on your desktop.
- Attach this ZIP-file to your next reply.

Replace the SCHEMA.DAT file
- Download Schema.zip and save 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 on your deskop into the above directory.
Afterwards reboot the server and attempt to update. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.
Man, you are great! It's works, thanks a lot.
