DISCUSSION: Windows Server 2016 14393 (1607)

OMG, just OMG

 

MSC2012 "converter" not needed, as cumulative update seem to reset most settings.

 

(Since you cannot run slmgr /rilc, I have a question.)

Speaking of cululative update, how did you get it? Thru Windows Update, or inatalled manually? (I get it thru Windows Update.)

 

Is there a way to make windows 10 work like server 2016 with removing features from payload?

 

Cumulative update?

 

slmgr /rilc did run, but it didn't change, Read the Microsoft Software License Terms in Control Panel\System and Security\System.

windows10.0-kb3176495-x64 Windows Update.
windows10.0-kb3176931-x64 Manually.

 

Same to me. Good.

 

No
server components/packages are more featurized

in client, only two packages have visible features that can be disabled
- Founation-Package, which holds the normal optional features
- the edition product package (i.e. Microsoft-Windows-ProfessionalEdition), which usually have:

Is there any news (or already a reliable date) about when Windows Server 2016 Essentials will be available?

 

The official launch is for the end of September, a leak can always happen earlier

 

Forget the leak ... Are you saying I can't have lunch until the end of September? I know I need to diet but come on that can't be healthy.

 

Can't you just use the Server standard and enable the Essentials role?

 

The mui file that cause ServerManager to function abnormally is

Microsoft.Windows.ServerManager.Common.resources.dll

in

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.Windows.FileServer.Management.Common.resources\v4.0_10.0.0.0_xx-XX_31bf3856ad364e35

 

To be pedantic, this isn't a mui, this is a resource dll which doesn't pair perfectly with the older related mui from 14300

 

Thank you. Now I have got to know that a MUI file does not need to be .mui.

 

To be clear there are two files

involved in that specific problem

Microsoft.Windows.ServerManager.Common.resources.dll

and

Microsoft.Windows.ServerManager.Common.resources.dll.mui

The former is a normal resource file (it may contain not translatable strings, icons, backgrounds and whatever a program needs)

The second is an extension of the former which includes the translations only (MUIs are just renamed dlls).


If the former has mismatched references to the latter the program may crash.

Clearly there was a change happened between 14300 and 14393 that mismateched part of the resources.

Hence you have to choices, delete the mui and keep the server manager in english until the official mui will be released

Or replace the parent resource to match the older mui

There is a third option, use a resource editor and translate the en-US mui yourself, something I don't mind to do, but that's just matter of patience rather han skills

 

normally on servers you need to install Desktop Experience (server manager - features) for that, and login images and themes.
