Teacher @xinso, I was able to build a 25398 Server Datacenter .with GUI - it;s using gailium119 language pack and it has only the Serverdatacenter Sku.
I have upgraded to build 887 - the winx menu and settings work fine.
In the registry ,it shows that LCU 25398.887 is installed but in winver it show 25398.1

Please guide me to fix this so that winver matches the installed LCU version.

 

Check:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

Code:

UBR

amd64_microsoft-windows-coreos-revision_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.25398.887_none_38011e93b0202498.manifest

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3" manifestVersion="1.0" copyright="Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved.">

    <registryKey keyName="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion">

    </registryKey>
  </registryKeys>
</assembly>

This is what I have:


The UBR is at 1 - strange. Is there a way to modify the manifest. I can fix it with a registry tweak but on reboot it still shows build 1
I will try to reconstruct using modified mum

thanks xinso

 

Which package structure do you use? Original server structure or mixed client/server structure?

 

mixed client/server structure -it does not have Professional components only the UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.25398.1.mum

 

OK - the sweet smell of success - I worked on this for the past week.
I modified Microsoft-Windows-ServerDatacenterCorEdition~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.25398.887.mum and it updates perfectly. Winxmenu and settings work. UBR is perfect now.
Below are some pics:







A million thanks and credits to:

Thanks for the 25398 en-us language pack. By chance did you make a customized 25398 server language pack that supports a GUI ?

Please share your full ServerDatacenter image ? - we can try to improve it to allow updates

1. Server Languagepack is full pack, the missing packages are the neutral packages.
2. Sharing images is not allowed on MDL.

26100.560, N is OK.
26100\26120.7XX Preview, N's Desktop is Wallpaper only (no taskbar).

Q: Why?

Wow, that sounds new to me.
Can you explain it more please?
Especially this: If CUs mixed, next update will fail.
I often apply beta CUs, and sometimes see later CUs failing, never got why.

 

Different EditionPack package structures and especially components, as elaborated\deleted in previous post.

This is the same reason why zwl29107s 25398 CU oftenly failed for you.
