After running sfc.exe /scannow on Server 2008 R2, I get the following message: "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log." I cleared the log before I ran sfc, and here it is after running sfc: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=yhvXz4ZX I do not understand what the stuff in this log file means. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Ingram, I recommend you check this once:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprogeneral/thread/3e24d17d-51d4-41ea-8f2b-5c61d0e2b01fRegards, Ravikumar P

Thanks, but there isn't anything in that post useful.

btw, this is a fresh install of 2008 R2. The reason I ran sfc is because I can no longer run Windows Update.

Windows update on server 2008 R2 has bug in certain cases In this case only new install could resolve problem.

In-place upgrade might fix the issue http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2255099Thanks !

In-Place upgrade is not a way to find out what is wrong originally, but I went ahead a did it anyway. In-Place Upgrade fails with this error message: "The upgrade was not successful. Your previous version of Windows is being restored. Do not restart your computer during this time."
