Hi all,
I have a windows server 2016 with a big problem.

Roles and features is not accessible.

Error message is : The request of list features available on th specified server failed.

I try this commandes:

sfc /scannow

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:G:\Sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:G:\Sources\install.wim

Uninstall language pack french

It's a VM with exchange 2016.

I check many web site and i don't have solution.

I would like to upgrade my exchange server and it's not possible because the features is not available.

    Time may be better spent standing up a new one, patch fully, join existing domain and migrate the roles over to it. As to migration details I'd suggest starting a new thread here for help with this task.

    Hi,
    I agree with DSPatrick that it is better to do a clean install.
