Add role error 0x800F0818
ok so my role sumary has an error and the details says that it is error code 0x800F0818. so i looked at the technet and it says to look at a file in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\cbs.log for a failed update. I went there and looked and it lists quite a
few. But when i go check the Windows update GUI it lists all were successful last week and it doesn't show any from this week. Now i run my updates form a internal WSUS server. Is this just a case of failed updates and should i try to run
them again? here is the link to cbs.log file

After installing numerous Windows Updates, usually when bringing a newly installed server up to date on patches, you may recieve the following error in server manager:
Error: Unexpected error refreshing Server Manager: Exception from HRESULT:0x800F0818d
This issue occurs when corrupt .mum or .cat files are present after the extraction and installation process of windows updates.
To reolve this we need to complete a few steps
1. Download and run the Microsoft Update Readiness Tool from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 once it has run check the log in C:\Windows\Servicing\Packages\CheckSUR.log
2. You should see errors resembling:
CBS MUM Corrupt 0×00000000 servicing\Packages\Package_for_KB978601~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.1.0.mum Expected file name Package_for_KB978601_server~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.1.0.mum does not match the actual file name
and further down
Unavailable repair files:
servicing\packages\Package_for_KB978601~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.1.0.mum
3. There may be more than one problematic update so make a note of all of them, you will then need to download these KB’s and unpack them using the following commands:
Expand -F:* UpdateKB978601.msu C:\Directory
This then shows a cat file which also needs to be unpacked:
Expand -F:* UpdateKB978601.CAB C:\Directory\CAB
4. You will need to grab the two files, one extension .mum and one extension .cat, then rename them making sure they are exactly as was displayed in the CheckSUR.log file. You will then need to copy them into the C:\Windows\Servicing\Packages directory overwriting
the existing ones.
These steps should resolve the issues and you should be able to add/remove Roles and Features again
