Windows Server 2016 Update and DISM Problems

Question

Hello guys, I am here once again to ask for your help.

The problem is Windows Server 2016 Update always gets stuck at 73% and after a long time(overnight) it just goes back to showing which updates are available without any error showing up.

Then when I try dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth it fails with an error

`Error: 14

Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.`

sfc /scannow did with success but problem still persits.

I attached few log files.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Answer 1

Hi @Nije Bitno , did you tried to run this command with locally mounted iso ? would recommend to run scan health as well via DISM.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:mounteddriveletter:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess.

someone already have had this issue before, so you might to check this if you have not checked it.

I hope this helps.

@Ajay Mahajan Thanks for the reply, I did run
dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

In this order, I do not have an ISO, is there a way I can obtain ISO compatible with my version of Windows Server 2016

Debugging windows log is beyond scope of forums support so if further assistance were needed you could open a request ticket with Microsoft support.

In fact, for Windows update problem, we usually reset Windows update components then check for updates again.

Error: 14 Not enough storage is available to complete this operation means your C partition doesn’t have enough space for file update or repair, please release some space.

The logs displayed:

RestoreHealth (hr:0x8007000e)

0x8007000e = out of memory
Not enough memory resources are available to complete this operation.
