    Help!

    I just purchased a new server with 2008 Windows Server Standard on an AMD x64 system. I had no problems until I did a Windows update and began downloading all the updates.

    When I rebooted the computer the Server Manager will not load. Here is the following error: 18ea3f92-d6aa-41d9-a205-2023400c8fbb. Iran the System Update Readiness Tool.

    The checkSur.log reports the following:

    Hi,

     

    The files are located in the C:\Windows\Winsxs folder. Basically, all of the components in the operating system are found in the Winsxs folder – in fact we call this location the component store.  Each component has a unique name that includes the version, language, and processor architecture that it was built for.

     

    To resolve the problem, please take the following suggestions:

     

    1.     Check the C:\Windows\Winsxs folder to see if the above files there.

    2.     Run the command: SFC /SCANNOW to repair the whole system.

    3.     If you have the same version of Windows Server 2008 installed on another computer, you can try to copy the above missing files from that computer.

    4.     If the issue persists, it is recommended to perform an In-place Upgrade to replace the files. In-place Upgrade is a special upgrade process to repair the system. In-place Upgrade will not affect settings like photos, movies, documents, etc. that are saved on the computer. It won’t require activation again. Please refer to the following site:

     

    How to Perform an In-Place Upgrade on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 & Windows Server 2008 R2

    What is the WINSXS directory in Windows 2008 and Windows Vista and why is it so large?
