Windows RE Partition not found after attempting KB 5028997 fix

Posted by StanQuizzy@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 7 comments

I built a new Windows Server 2022 Datacenter server this morning and was installing all updates. I ran into the issue described here where this update failed due to the WIN RE partition being too small. [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1495451/windows-update-issue-(failed-to-install)-0x8007064](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1495451/windows-update-issue-(failed-to-install)-0x8007064) One of the fixes points to this article: [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf) All goes well until go to reagentc /enable then I am getting the message "REAGENTC.EXE: The Windows RE image was not found." All steps prior to this were successful, no errors or issues. I am guessing that I will need to point the image to the correct partition but I ahve no idea how to do that and so far, my Google-fu is failing me to find an answer. Can someone help me with this? Please and thank you.
