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?

(Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion').ProductNameThis should bring up the edition of what you are using.
If there is a mis-match between the OS system and the source code DISM might error out.

2025-08-01T22:54:18.62+00:00 If you cant get DISM to work , you could mount the .ISO you downloaded within windows and run a repair install keeping apps and DOCs etc
As far as I can see, number one is Server standard or did you use two originally for your install. Can you put the error log file on OneDrive and share a link to it.

2025-08-06T14:39:02.42+00:00 I used number 2 because number one is the version without the graphical user interface and I have installed the GUI so I thought number 2 would be the correct version.Here are the logs: https://1drv.ms/f/c/20102064d143a4fd/EtP8aHdGKPlJmARgOnR6X48BHQbv2SZHQpl0BNzf_v2YCA?e=6HQcqe

2025-08-08T07:43:53.98+00:00 sorry about late reply.
are you typing the code like this, as there was an error stated in your code. Is D:\ the letter where the wim is stored, if in a different location change the letter. Also make sure you are using admin PowerShell
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:D:\Sources\install.wim:2 /LimitAccess -

2025-08-11T22:16:56.2466667+00:00 No matter if I use Command Promt or Power Shell I get the same results. F drive is where I mounted the image and all commands seem correct. See attached. Still no resolution. I uploaded the CBS log for you. I see some errors when trying to repair terminal services.

2025-08-11T22:34:37.8633333+00:00 Can you run this in PowerShell,

2025-08-11T22:37:41.2666667+00:00 then run this code second so you can check if your install and the wim are matching. Take a screen shot of the results please and post here.
DISM /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:F:\Sources\install.wim -

2025-08-12T23:17:26.21+00:00 Might been an issue, now you have a licence for server go to https://admin.microsoft.com/#/homepage then to billing, locate your product and there should be a link to download your server .iso, download that and try again.
If there is no download link, use the help system in the admin, bottom right, and they should be able to sort it or at list tell you about the right .ISO to use.

2025-08-13T15:18:02.7933333+00:00 It looks like someone left a comment and it was deleted. I did not purchase the license through the volume licensing so it does not show up in there. I guess we're out of luck here.
