I've come across a problem with the Roles section of server manager. I
get error details shown below.

I don't actually need to add any roles but of course want to fix this
immediately.

Has anyone seen this error before? What do you suggest?




Error:



Unexpected error refreshing Server Manager: No signature was present
in the subject (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800B0100)

For more information, see the event log: Diagnostic, Event Viewer,
Applications and Services Logs, Microsoft, Windows, Server Manager,
Operational


Event viewer gives the following info:

Could not discover the state of the system. An unexpected exception
was found:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800B0100): No signature
was present in the subject. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800B0100)

state)

I've just found this site:
http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache...ient=firefox-a

but the link it refers to is dead

Some more info.

If I get the server to check for updates (I believe this is also runs
the readiness tool?) it doesn't give any errors and says that windows
is up to date.

I have seen this before. It happens because there are some files missing on
the server.

Check the System Event log for any errors like the one below:
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-Servicing
Event ID: 4375
Description:
Windows Servicing failed to complete the process of setting package KB######
(Security Update) into Resolved(Resolved) state

If you see an event like that for one or multiple KB#'s, then try
reinstalling those updates.

If that doesn't resolve it, then try this:
1. Run System Update Readiness Tool on the server. Download it from
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821/en-us>

2. The System Update Readiness Tool creates a log file that captures any
issues
that the tool found or fixed. The log file is located at the following
location:
%SYSTEMROOT%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log

3. From the log, look for something like this in the results:

(f) CBS MUM
Missing 0x00000002
servicing\package\package_for_KB960225_server_0~31bf3856ad36e35~amd64~~6.0.1.0
mum
(f) CBS MUM
Missing 0x00000002
servicing\package\package_for_KB960225_server_31bf3856ad364e35
~amd64~~6.0.1.0
mum

4. Try reinstalling the update package called out. In the example above, it
would be KB 960225.

5. If that doesn't fix it, you may just need to copy the missing files into
the C:\Windows\Servicing\Packages folder. You can try downloading and
extracting the contents of the update to get the file(s). Or you can try
getting them from another machine that has the update(s) installed.

The other Event log info would possibly be helpful (ID and Source).

But have a look yourself, at:

Given Chris's info - it might pay to chkdsk /f the server drives too.

thanks for the responses. I'll give this all a go and let you know
the outcome.

I noticed it said Fixed 4 errors so I tried going back into the Roles
section of Server Manager and it now loads fine.

Thanks all for you help on this one - in particular Chris Puckett!

That's awesome! I'm glad to see it was able to find and replace the missing
files for you.
