I see. It can be used to convert a SKU or bypass the EOS CU update block. But not update issues. If the WinSxS is not crippled, you can apply individual packages defined in the CU update.mum, then manually add the mum/cat, and its registry to solve the problem. In this way, maybe the update problem will be gone with next CU.

14393 EnterpriseS as Server Desktop,In contrast, different packets are marked, and the current study is to reduce the packets
Yes. But we need to add at least a Role to see if it would work or not, in addition to ServerManger and WindowsServerBackup we've already known.
I can't tell. We need to try by file name (or display description in mum and manifest). Anyway, slimdown EnterpriseS to smallest footprint as possible, then add Server Role package one by one. (Like I do to WindowsServerBackup and ServerManager.)
What? I cannot follow you. You mean "Try one by one, and finally, keep a record of useful packages for a Role"?
Yeah. Just go ahead. I am starting... We can begin with, say, "File Server" - the basic one. Try these firstly: Microsoft-Windows-FileServer-Core-Package Microsoft-Windows-FileServer-Package Microsoft-Windows-FileServer-ServerCore-Package Microsoft-Windows-FileServerVSSAgent-Package Microsoft-Windows-FileServerVSSProvider-Package Use 14393. 17623 is problematic - like WindowsServerBack, wasted me several days testing to no avail.
If you succeeded, you are gonna be the No. 1 on this topic. I don't care the rank, I only wish to have accomplished this challenge. I've had WHOLE 14393 Server packages re-captured again yesterday, did you? (In the past, 7 days. Last time 12 hours. This time few hours only.)
Experiences is very important. To save time, we don't need to install WindowsServerBackup we already can. 1. Convert EnterpriseS to ServerDatacenter 2. intergrate ServerManager 3. Test a Role No need to waste time on applications or Apps gimmick.
