Hello,
When I run SFC /scannow I get a message that some files are corrupted but can be repaired. When I run the command Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth I get a message that it cannot find the source. I've tried any other suggestions according to this article below but no luck. Can anyone assist me with this?

Hi Karel,
Hope you're doing well.
It seems that some corruption was detected in the component store. This can often be resolved by running the RestoreHealth command with a healthy source, such as the original Windows ISO. You can follow the steps below:
Open Command Prompt as Administrator
Run the following command:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:<path_to_wim_or_esd_file> /LimitAccess
Hope this helps and let me know how it goes!
As you can see from the attached picture I've tried to point it to the source but still get the same error unless I'm missing something. Please look at the screenshot and let me know if I made a mistake somewhere.

Hi Karel Grulich,
Make sure your Windows edition is the same as the source,
so you need the number after wim:6 which is this case is for Pro
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:WIM:F:\Sources\install.wim:6 /LimitAccess
You can also copy the wim file/folder to C:\ if it easier.
This is a Windows Server 2025 Standard. I downloaded it from the Microsoft website. It is basically their evaluation copy but once you apply the license keys it converts it to a retail copy of Windows Server 2025 Standard. Which number do I need to use? Or are you saying to copy the entire "source" folder from the ISO file to C and then point it to there?
use Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:F:\Sources\install.wim to check to see if it has server 2025 edition in it.
Are you still running a evaluation copy or have you got it licenced now?
It's been fully licensed and working fine on all of my servers. It's just this one shows this error. The F:\Sources\install.wim file has to be for the server 2025 as that's the ISO I used to install the server. This is the output:

Yes, all the servers are fully licensed and functional. It's just that this specific server shows the sfc error as posted here. I downloaded the eval ISO (see screenshot), it is Windows server 2025. See output of DISM command
