Inherited a file cluster which has never been patched. Looks like when this was setup one node failed to activate and has been stuck as "Undeployable" checked a few log files and noticed that sysprep appears to be corrupt. Ran the usual sfc /scannow as well as Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to see if that would clear it up, but no joy. Ran the sfcfix.exe from here and the output is as follows:
