Hello-
I have a Window Server 2016 installation running on a Dell PowerEdge T320 server. The server clears POST fine. When I get into the Window boot process, I get the Windows logo then Please wait for the Trusted Installer, followed by Getting Windows Ready....Don't turn off your computer. After several minutes, the server just reboots. Here is what I have tried:
Startup Repair - Failed, but srttrail.txt says OS booted successfully.
Enable boot logging. Nothing particularly revealing in the bootlog.
Safe Mode / Safe Mode Network / Safe Mode Command Prompt - same reboot issue.
Last Known Good Configuration - same reboot issue.
DISM /scanhealth and /checkhealth - reported OK.
DISM /cleanup-image /restorehealth. Had issues locating the source files though I mounted the downloaded Windows Server 2016 install.wim to c:\temp. Think this could be related to WSUS - which is running in this environment.
I do have backups of my files, which are on a separate D: spindle. This machine is a domain controller, though it does not hold the FSMO roles. My last System State backup is unfortunately from 6 months ago and questionable.
Suggestions? Thanks
