Hi,

I get the following error when attempting to update my Windows 2003 server

Gareth,

I am getting the exact same error on my w2k3 Terminal Server. The SP1
installed fine on y SQL and Data servers, but on the TS, it gave me the same
errorcode (didn't look at the log for which part failed specifically)

looking forward to an answer from someone :)

Hi,

Yeah mine is running exchange 2003... I have managed to install SP1 now...
first I tried running 'sfc /scannow' and it did update some files, and I made
sure I had a latest versions of my drivers... however it still came up with
the same error.

What I tried next was to patch SP1 onto a full 2003 installation disk, then
run an upgrade installation, and that ran 100% fine, just had to re-activate
my virus program... altough the whole process took a lot lot longer.

Cheers
G

HI All, I am having the same error. Except by box is nothing but a server,
it doesn't have TS installed (except for remote admin, but it is a remote
domain controller) UDDISP.exe is the last step before it errors out.

4841.703: Starting process: C:\WINDOWS\uddisp.exe install
"e:\cd8d20dbf3e8308d090dbdfa4083\i386\\"
4846.500: Return Code = 1642
4846.500: DoInstallation: RunInfProcesses for ProcessesToRunAfterCopying
failed.

does anyone know how to get around this?

Thanks,

Keith

We just hit the same problem. Can you give us some detail on how you
got around it with the full installation disk? Cheers.

Did you get any resolution to your 0xf070 sp1 error when installing
Windows 2003 service pack?

I just received the same error message after installing Windows 2003
standard edition on a new HP machine.

I successfully installed 2003, SP1 on another machine, but it already
had the prior 20+ hot fixes.

Hello Michael,
Did you recover from this? If so how did you do so?
Are your temp folders valid? We some similar failures with invalid
specified temp folders?
Thanks,

Hi Darrell,

No I still have not figured out a solution to this yet. SP1 installed fine
on machines that are not running terminal services so far it has only been
failing if the machine has TS already installed.

I will be attempting an "upgrade" from a streamlined sp1 w2k3 server cd to
see if the problem gets resolved.

Thanks for your help.

Mike

Hello Michael,
What is your path?
I think the return code 3 is "The system cannot find the path specified"
Open a cmd prompt and type set.
Check your path.

Hi Darrell,

that's not the error that I am seeing in the log that I posted as much as it
is error code 3. I guess I don't follow your path question. the path is
showing the standard entries
(c:\windows\system32;c:\windows;c:\windows\system, etc, etc)

What makes you think that it is a path problem? i downloaded the full sp1
and ran it as is. I've also downlaoded the version using windowsupdate and
the result is the same. I don't think it is actually a path problem (though
I won't discount that yet).

do you suggest that I manually extract the sp1 to a folder I specify, add
that path to the environment variables then rerun the update?

Hello Mike,
The return code 3 is usually a path cannot be found type of error.
The path could be a search of the existing path strings where an entry is
no longer valid, or it could be a path to the service pack install temp
file locations.
It could also be something the serivce pack is touching that is trying to
access a path of some type, like a driver or app install package, where the
source files are needed.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

_ROOT_CAUSE_
I had the same issue. The root cause was a corrupt WMI database. When
the SP1 installation tried to register a new namespace or update
existing namespaces, it failed.

The easiest way to identify the WMI database corruption is to go to
WMIMGMT.MSC > Server Properties > Security tab. The Microsoft NLB
namespace should not have any subcontainers. Prior to resolving the
issue, the root namespace was repeated as subcontainers of the
Microsoft NLB namespace. I could select Root > Microsoft NLB >
Microsoft NLB > Microsoft NLB > Microsoft NLB (see attachments). Not
good! This of course is not how I discovered the issue, but it is the
easiest way to identify the issue.

_RESOLUTION__
Microsoft has provided the ability to run a consistency checker against
the WMI database that fixes this issue. The problem is, this
functionality is not included with the first release of Windows 2003 -
the functionality was added with SP1. So how do we run the consistency
checker if we cannot install SP1 on the server?

- Run the install for SP1
- When you receive the message that the SP1 installation has failed, do
not press OK (yet)

At this point, the SP1 .DLLs and .EXEs for WMI are installed and
available, even though SP1 setup has not completed successfully. We
know that as soon as we press the OK button SP1 will be removed, but we
can still issue the command to run the WMI database consistency
checker.

- At a command prompt, issue the following command. This will run the
WMI database consistency checker:

rundll32 wbemupgd, RepairWMISetup

- Check the file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WBEM\LOGS\SETUP.LOG for the
following text:

(Wed Jun 14 19:00:26 2006): ERROR: wbemupgd.dll: The WMI repository has
failed to upgrade. The repository has been backed up to
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM\Repository.001 and a new one created.

This indicates that the WMI database consistency checker has run
successfully, that it found consistency issues, and that it has created
a new repository.

- It is now safe to press OK in the message box indicating the SP1
installation has failed

Setup will uninstall SP1

- At the “Installation did not complete” message, press OK

Setup will restart the server automatically (you will not be prompted)

- Re-install SP1. The installation should be successful.
