Windows Server 2019 DISM hang
Hoping someone might be able to offer guidance on this. We have a Windows Server 2019 that won't run DISM or SFC. DISM hangs when performing scanhealth - command issued was DISM /ONLINE /CLEA...
Hi PCS-Sydney,
Can you reboot the server and retry the command? Possibly, you will have to reboot a couple of times until DISM finishes.
Can you run successfully: DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /RESTOREHEALTH?
Since posting this, we've done some more digging, and found we could get DISM running - to a point, where it would crash with a specific error.
Despite reboots etc, this did not allow further progress.
Given the complexities, this was given over to Microsoft Professional Services for investigation under a support ticket.
This appears to relate to missing files from an update, and we're working with them to rectify this.
Many thanks for the reply and suggestion on this case!
