Server Crash after Patch update

Question

Hi,

Anyhelp on how can we revert the patches if server gets crash, followed the below steps.

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Boot from Windows Server 2012 ISO
2. Click next
3. Click repair your computer
4. Click on tools -> cmd
5. Within command prompt we need to run a couple of commands:
   a. Diskpart
   First we need to identify the disks by running: list disk
   From the output select the OS-Disk by : select disk
   Now run: list volume
   From the volume list, please select the FAT32-partition which is the SYSTEM partition
   Assign that partition a letter by: assign letter y
   Exit

b. Verify the OS Disk via dir (see if you can see Windows Folder, User-Folder, Program Files (x86) : dir c:
c. Verfiy the system partition is readable by running dir y:
d. Create a folder on C:\scratch and navigate into this folder
e. Dism
run the following command to get the list of installed packages:
DISM /Image:C:\ /Get-Packages

Open current.txt and see if you have any updates with the state Pending (could be uninstall pending or pending installation)
If so, run the following command:
DISM /Image:C:\ /clean-image /revertpendingactions

f. Reboot

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Korini
