Hi Fhilp,

Can you try this action plan regarding DISM Image Management:
- Mount the Windows Server 2016 ISO
- CMD (as administrator): DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:D:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess

Please note:

- /source:WIM:D:\ where D:\ must be the drive letter on which your system has mounted the ISO

- /LimitAccess tells DISM not to check Windows Update or Windows Server Update Services for the capability source files.

Hi Fhilp,

Thank you for the feedback.

To be sure: you are using a Windows Server 2016 ISO?
Please, also run: sfc /scannow, reboot the machine and try the DISM command again.

    Hi Fhilp,
    
    Can you try this workaround
    - First take a snapshot or backup of the VM
    - Mount the Windows Server 2016 ISO
    - CMD (as administrator): setup.exe /auto upgrade /dynamicupdate disable /eula accept /ShowOOBE None
