Windows Server 2012 R2 Update (KB2919355) never installs
Hi fellas,
I have a Server 2012 R2 machine that consistently fails to install KB2919355, also called Windows Server 2012 R2 Update. I've tried via Microsoft Update and manually. The update shows up in Microsoft Update. It downloads and appears to install. Then on the reboot it says it failed to install the update, rolls back, and reboots. I tried applying the patch manually, following the instructions regarding installation order here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42335
No difference.
KB2919442 is installed.
Also tried:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
And the fixit here:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058?wa=wsignin1.0
And this:
Net stop wuauserv
rd /s %windir%\softwaredistribut
Net start wuauserv
No luck.
I've linked below to an excerpt of the machine's WindowsUpdate.log file, which includes the last attempt to download and install updates.

The answers forum points me to troubleshooting steps already attempted, such as manually installing, for which I very meticulously followed the installation instructions, and running Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, which didn't work either. I ran the dism command twice, once using Windows Update as the source and once using a Server 2012 R2 Datacenter install disc as the source.
The Technet forum link points to the problem being with the antivirus. We're running Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.5. Installation of the update fails whether it is enabled or disabled.

Following these directions presently.

I would completely uninstall the Sysmantec product.
I have seen many times in the past where AV products get in the way even when you turn them off. They really are not turned off.

Okay, Symantec has been uninstalled completely. Still no luck.
I also followed the instructions in the above windowsclub link, which entailed:
Running Dism /Online /Get-Packages to see if KB2919355 shows up. It does, but it shows as staged, not installed.
Used DISM /online /remove-package /packagename:Package_for_K
Then ran:
DISM /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
and
DISM /online /cleanup-Image /restorehealth /source:[path to install.wim]
Then rebooted. Tried installing from Windows Update.
Same result.

How about trying the install in safe mode?
ASKER
Safe Mode:
Booted into safe mode using msconfig > Safe mode > Network option. Once in safe mode, windows update service was disabled and not alterable from services.msc. Ran these two commands:
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentContro
net start wuauserv
This enabled me to manually install the updates. I didn't reboot until the final update in the list was complete.
But the result was still the same. The server tried to install the updates, failed, and rebooted to roll them back.

I wonder if I've found something. I've been nosing around the CBS.log file found in c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.lo
"Extraction of file: update.ses failed because it is not present in the container."
"Not able to add file to extract: update.ses [HRESULT = 0x80070002 - ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND]"
Googling isn't yielding much yet.
Further, after the failure of the manual install, cbs.log throws this error as well:
Failed installing driver updates [HRESULT = 0x80070002 - ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND]

We isolated the issue to the failure of USBSTOR.sys to update as part of the KB2919355 installation, as reported in CBS.log.
To confirm the exact version of Windows Server 2012 R2 that is installed on a computer, run Msinfo32.exe. If Windows Server 2012 R2 Update is installed, the value reported for Hardware Abstraction Layer will be 6.3.9600.17031.
