[SOLVED] Security Monthly Quality Rollups always fail - Windows 2008 R2

gpick · Dec 11, 2018

I've been getting failures on some Windows 2008 R2 servers for months now. It only fails on the Security Monthly Quality Rollups. I partially fixed this by uninstalling the Internet Explorer feature, DISMing in the latest one, and adding the feature back, as it was hanging on the SpellCheckFacility (or something like that). It's still stuck though. I managed to fix one server, but I have been unable to repeat the process for the others. I'm curious how you determine which files need to be replaced, so that maybe I can handle this on my own next time.

SFCFix came back clean, so I am attaching the CBS logs. I had to remove some of the older "persist" files from other days to stay under the limit. Please let me know if they need to be included as well.

Thanks you very much.

Absolutely fantastic! I was able to install all the pending updates on this server. I've pored over the CBS.log myself, but they're a bit overwhelming when you're not sure what to look for. What was it that tipped you off that KB4025341 was the package that was missing? I have some other servers that are exhibiting similar behavior, so I'd like to be able to check and see if this fix is applicable to them as well.

THANK YOU!

I found the error that told me it was a component missing. Then I used my existing knowledge to tie it to KB4025341 and voila :)

Glad to have helped!
