Error 0x800F081f when trying to add features or roles on Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2

     
Hello
When I try to add ANY feature or role on our Windows 2008 Server I get the following
"Attempt to install <feature> failed. (error value: 0x800F081F)
The source for the specified package or file was not found"
As our Windows Server 2008 is not R2 I have tried running the update readiness tool but this has not helped. 
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821
The CheckSUR.log shows no errors after running the readiness tool. 

Might try a repair install.

  • Error: 0x80073701 when trying to add Print Services Role in Windows 2012 Standard

    Hello,
    I'm getting an error when trying to add Print Services role in Windows 2012 Standard. I'm getting the same error whether I use the GUI or from PowerShell.
    This is a new server install.
    The PowerShell error follows:
    add-windowsfeature : The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed.
    Installation of one or more roles, role services, or features failed.
    The referenced assembly could not be found. Error: 0x80073701

    Hi,
    I think you should start with chkdsk C: /F and sfc /scannow.

    After the machine was re-started, I was not abble to connect

    Hi,
    Check if SQL Server service is running fine. I doubt you may have changed the user account password used for SQL Server service. After restarting the machine, you also need to update the user account of SQL Server service in Configuration
    Manager. Re-type the user account name and password under Log on tab and see how it helps.
    Thanks.

    You should always backup your iPad before ever doing anything major that coould result in a catastrophic loss is something goes wrong. You can then usually restore from the backup when your iPad has recovered.
    You should also be sure to have transfered any new purchases directly to your iPad to the iTunes app on your computer on a regular basis.

    Sounds like the PDF has an issue. You can try to save it, close, and reopen to see if that fixes it. If there are no tags or other markup, you could print it to a new PDF and try on the new file.

  • Getting Error -9672 when trying to add printer wirelessly

    Hi,
    I seem to be getting an error -9672 when trying to add my HP PSC 1410 wirelessly to my airport network. I've tried on my intel iMac and my mac book but I'm getting the same error. Any suggestions on how to solve this?
    ANY help is much appreciated.
    Matt.

    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. A quick look at the iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility List doesn't show this particular model. This doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.

  • Hang when opening multiple pdfs: Reader 10.0.1 (Win Server 2008 x64 SP2)

    I have recently updated Adobe Reader to the latest patch update 10.0.1.
    Previous to this update, I was able to open multiple pdfs at once and had no issues with the Adobe Reader software. After updating to 10.0.1 I've noted that when I attempt to open more than one pdf at a time, Reader hangs (Windows indicates a "Not Responding" error has occurred). After a series of minutes, the second (or third, fourth etc) file opens, and Reader appears to function as per normal..
    I'm running Adobe Reader 10.0.1 on a Windows Server 2008 x64 (SP2) box, and didn't have this issue with the 10.0.0 release..
    Does anyone else share this issue, and if so, is there an update planned to solve the issue? I would also be happy to provide more diagnostics/specs if these will provide info for developers to chase down the issue here..

    I also have Reader 10.0.1 (Win 7 Home Premium x32).  I can open several large PDFs (including one over 100 MiB) satisfactorily and then have the whole thing hang.  As I am trying to work with these documents, I have not been patient enough to wait for minutes.  I just have to terminate Reader and relaunch it.
    I have removed some of my DLLs to stop Reader wasting my time preparing a long document for reading, which I do not need .  (It would really help if Adobe would provide a setting to turn this off, instead of my having to hack it. )
    I never had any similar problems with Reader 9.  Did anyone test Reader X before releasing it?  I have read elsewhere that turning Protected Mode off may help but...

    I am getting the error.
    The product key you have entered does not appear to be a valid windows server product key.

    Can someone help on this ? any reply really appreciated.

  • Error message when trying to add a printer  -50?

    I'm using an HP LaserJet 2100M, connected to my iMac G5 with a JetDirect 610 networking card through the ethernet port.
    Usually it works, but now when I've tried to reset the printing preferences (often necessary to get it to work) and go to choose a printer, I get an error message: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer.....error -50."
    I've tried restarting, and using the disk utility, but it says nothing needs to be repaired. Anybody have any suggestions? Do I have to reinstall, or will any updates help? I'm using 10.4.3
    thanks

    Use the process outlined here:
    HP Printers (and others) not on compatibility list and Airport Extreme Printing
    http://tech.ifelix.net/1300.html
    Using the Gimp-Print drivers for the HP PhotoSmart P1000 printer.
    The supplied HP C3180 drivers will not work when the printer is connected to an Airport base station.

  • Error message when trying to add printer

    First my DeskJet 1125c wouldn't print then I got my fathers old deskjet 845c which worked for a few days. Now that doesn't work either and when I try to add a printer, I get an alert box with this message:
    "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printers.
    "server-error-service-unavailable."
    So now I can't print from any of my two HP printers, DeskJet 845c or Deskjet 1125c.

  • Bizarre error message when trying to add BT Vision...

    I am getting a bizarre message when trying to add BT Vision to my BT Infinity broadband which is due to install on Thursday.  I'm hoping it is only due to the fact the order has not completed and will be fine in a week.  I did speak to an "advisor" but I helpfully was told the line cannot be checked until the current order is complete and I'd obviously want to know if there will be any problem with me getting BT Vision prior to that!
    Has anyone else seen this error message and have any advice?  Note that I am definitely not in any trial and the 0800 number is now dead.

  • Error:-9672 when trying to add HP Photosmart C3180 printer.

    Printer: HP Photosmart C3180
    "An error occured while trying to add the selected printer. Error:-9672"
    Printer works fine if connected directly to my iMac. But, through "Airport Extreme Base Station", I get the error.
    Anyone with same printer having same problem? Anyone solutions?
    iMac Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I found the same thing out yesterday and did the same solution.
    One issue should be noted. The quality of the print is much worse since we are not using the correct print driver. Works fine for standard unimportant text printing, but really can't be used for printing photos.
    Connect the printer directly to the computer USB and print a photograph using the real print driver, then connect wirelessly using the above method and print the same photo. The difference is dramatic.
    It also seems to overuse black ink when hooked up through the Airport, and the printer light blinks for a while after printing is done.
    Anyway, I plan on leaving it hooked up wirelessly for convenience sake, but when good quality is needed I will attach it directly to the USB port.
    You can verify my findings and let others know if you find the same thing I found.
    Good luck, and lets hope there are more compatible printers available in the future.
