Windows Server 2016 as host and Win 10 Image with August or later patch

[SymbioticKilla]

Host: Windows Server 2016 ADK: tested with integrated and ADK Image: Win10 Image with August patch or later

Somehow Win10 Images with August patch or later do not work on Windows Server 2016. With July and earlier is everything fine. Do you have any clues? Thank you!

@SymbioticKilla unfortunately I do not. I would imagine some new functionality shipped in dismapi.dll which isn't on your Windows Server 2016 machine. Are you able to try on a newer OS?

@jeffkl Thank you for reply and happy new year! There are no problems with newer versions as hosts. For me it looks like there is some new stuff in images from august patch that are not compatible with server 2016 as a host.

Probably related to this, and it's fixed with SSU-19041.1371 and later https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/653748/offline-servicing-mecm.html
