Offline SFC Scans

Anyone want to help make an SFC wrapper for offline repairs from PE? (In 10PE this works on 7 through 10 hosts)

Super basic thrown together CMD version attached.

This needs to be done regularly at tech shops..

Code: [Select]

@Echo Off
:BEGIN
CLS
ECHO                              Offline SFC Repair
ECHO -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ECHO.
SET /P DEFAULT="Scan default offline Windows Installation? [Y/N] : "
IF /I "%DEFAULT%" EQU "Y" GOTO DEFAULTLOCATION
:SETLOCATION
ECHO. && SET /P DRIVELETTER="Enter the drive letter of a Windows Installation (e.g. D, E, F): "
ECHO.
IF NOT EXIST %DriveLetter%:\Windows GOTO NOTDETECTED
SET /P BOOT="Would you like to specifiy a different boot location? [Y/N] :"
ECHO.
IF /I "%BOOT%" EQU "Y" GOTO SETBOOTLOCATION
SET DRIVELETTER2=%Driveletter%
GOTO REPAIR
:SETBOOTLOCATION
SET /P DRIVELETTER2="Enter the drive letter of the boot partition (e.g. D, E, F): "
IF NOT EXIST %DriveLetter2%:\ ECHO. && ECHO Boot Partition does not exist! && ECHO. && ECHO. && PAUSE && GOTO BEGIN
GOTO REPAIR
:DEFAULTLOCATION
IF EXIST C:\WINDOWS (
SET DRIVELETTER=C
SET DRIVELETTER2=C
)
:REPAIR
IF NOT EXIST %DriveLetter%:\Windows (
GOTO NOTDETECTED
)
CLS
ECHO                              Offline SFC Repair
ECHO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ECHO.
ECHO  [**Offline Boot Directory*****] = %DriveLetter2%:\
ECHO.   
ECHO  [**Offline Windows Directory**] = %DriveLetter%:\Windows
ECHO.
SFC /SCANNOW /OFFBOOTDIR=%DriveLetter2%:\ /OFFWINDIR=%DriveLetter%:\Windows /OFFLOGFILE=%UserProfile%\Desktop\sfclog.txt
ECHO.
ECHO.
PAUSE
EXIT
:NOTDETECTED
CLS
ECHO                              Offline SFC Repair
ECHO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ECHO.
ECHO No Windows Installation detected @ %DriveLetter%:\
ECHO.
ECHO.
PAUSE
GOTO BEGIN
EXIT

If not I'll do it on my own, slowly 

I fixed it a little bit. It does work but is ugly, logfile placed on desktop can be checked during process...   Maybe we can output SFC log into into a window so we can watch the process + a logfile... That would make it the first time you could actually watch sfc do its thing...

For failed repairs maybe we can have it auto parse filenames from log out of lines with the word "corrupt", and offer to copy them manually from a win install iso, this is what I do myself when an SFC repair fails.  It is normally not worth the extra time (if repairs fail), but if we can automate it, it will be better\faster than re-installing...

very small thing:
better check system file to detect windows

eg.

Code: [Select]

IF NOT EXIST %DriveLetter%:\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM GOTO NOTDETECTED

Edit:
not tested but MAYBE you can get \Windows\ folder name with something like this
%DriveLetter%:\*\System32\config\SYSTEM GOTO Detected_FindWinFolder

Simple plugin created.

Offline SFC Repair:  OfflineSFC_Plugin_v1.7z (45.81 kB - downloaded 111 times.)

Updated Plugin to v2

Now includes a Real-Time status window, showing SFC progress.



*The status window can be closed at any time without affecting the Scan/Repair process

Hi

Great work

Any chance of a plugin for Win10XPE as well?

Tried using this one but get error:

Unable to create directory:  [DirMake,%ProjectTemp%\TempExtractFolder\%containerfolder%]

I have a good arrangement (i hope  ) where I'll write a plugin for SE and let the XPE masters do their thing..(conversion or re-create)

My view for my personal plugins is this(For future reference): If I made the plugin from scratch, like this one, no credit is necessary if converting for another project.  I just like to see it available for all.  (I used to care to be seen as contributing, but at this stage it does not matter to me personally anymore)  Otherwise the only time I personally care about credit is if others were involved in development.. For recognition/history..

Hopefully there will be an XPE version soon 

Request: Can someone please make a XPE plugin for Dazza   

Required for the plugin are 3 files, OfflineSFC.cmd, OfflineSFC.ico, and tail.exe

I would be fine with another take on this (CMD rewritten) in the interest of progress...  (although conversion is an easier request)

Yes Bob, now get back to work...

Edit
Bob, this should do it - attachment all yours from this point..

Thanks James 

Perhaps I should have included SFC as a dependency in my version     I cant stop laughing at this.. This is my smile of the day @Lancelot  (http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=2693.msg30528#msg30528)

Hi Bob.Omb

Sorry for disrupting "Offline SFC Scans" topic a lot.
I just split topic
http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=2697
and attached "before split" to reply 2.

See you on next post....

Hi Bob.Omb

Added to server with minor fixes,
-> I believe you do not need sfc.exe at SysWOW64 but you need sfc.exe at System32 
Edit: If I am wrong enable line //Set,%PluginArch%,x86 --> current Version=004 Date=2019.01.05_16:02.13 (GMT0: -3 Hours)

further on your hands.

There is option:
Add 'Run from System32'

to create such cmd things at sytem32 it is faster to use 'Run from System32' and will have better results using variables....

I also do same as you do, I hide scrollbox and 'Run from System32' checkbox after creation.

Thank you very much for this - much appreciated 

-> I believe you do not need sfc.exe at SysWOW64 but you need sfc.exe at System32 

Set,%PluginArch%,x86 - puts files in BOTH System32 and SysWOW64 correct?   Not sure if this is needed but the files are small.  I wonder if SFC in SysWOW64 is used by the x64 SFC from System32 while its checking 32bit files in SysWOW64 on host os?  I am not 100% sure yet..

Hi bob.omb

Just test plugin on server to see if "tail.exe" working as you design or not ?
Your reply will clear all relevant things about System32 and SysWOW64, and I will respond to your questions when I get back home.
