Hi all,

When trying to install any server role or feature on our 2019 Server it results in this error:
173128-image.png

Any ideas on what may have caused this, and how to solve it?

The server was installed about 5 months ago, and the installation is basically stock, not much changes made.

Thanks in advance.

    Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste in sequence:

    sfc /scannow
    findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails1.txt"
    dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    sfc /scannow
    findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails2.txt"

    Post images or share links of the above commands with results into this thread.

    @Docs Thanks for your response.

    Starting with the first command already results in an error: mstsc_zXV5MwMnew.jpg

    Please continue with the remaining commands in the earlier post.

    Post images or share links into this thread.

    If the DISM commands display error codes then attempt Regback.

    If Regback works then your set.

    If Regback fails then plan a fresh installation.
