Installing Windows Feature - restart pending
i'm trying install windows feature server 2012 r2.
it succesful on 4 servers, 2 servers remaining won't install feature.
i've tried via powershell , running gui wizard add roles.
but fails error restart pending (dismapi_error__failed_reboot_required)
i've check numberous forums , check kind of registry settings, pendingfilerename 1 isn't in registry. check pending.xml file, cannot rename (only system account) , found blog post somewhere not recommended change file.
also ran sfc /scannow , dism command restorehealth parameters (these commands report in logfiles there reboot pending...). no luck far.
any idea how proceed?
the feature i'm trying install search-service (which listed available) on 2 remaining rd sh servers don't think feature or role of server important @ problem.
just managed install wanted feature on 1 of servers.
started cmd elevated permissions
in c:\windows run: lodctrl /r
if error go c:\windows\syswow64 , run same command.
when succelful run: winmgmt /resyncperf
restarted server , able install.
so seems performance counters not started or corrupt , somehow generating pending restart issue.on other server need wait untill tomorrow.
did same thing on other server worked again:
lodctr /r in c:\windows (if fails run in c:\windows\syswow64)
winmgmt /resyncperf
restart server
