Как обновить framework на windows server

Большинство современных приложений Windows требуют наличия установленного .NET Framework. Например, в Windows 11/10 и Windows Server 2022/2019 по умолчанию уже установлена версия NET Framework 4.8. Однако некоторые старые приложения требуют наличия установленного .NET Framework 3.5, 2.0 или даже 1.0.

В этой статье мы рассмотрим, как установить .NET 3.5 в Windows 11/10 и Windows Server 2022/2019/2016.

Установка .NET Framework 3.5 в Windows 11 и 10

Проверьте, что .NET Framework 3.5 (включает в себя .NET 2.0 и 3.0) не установлен на вашем компьютере. Для этого, откройте консоль PowerShell с правами администратора и выполните команду:

Get-WindowsCapability -Online -Name NetFx3~~~~

В нашем случае .NET 3.5 не установлен (
State=NotPresent
).

В Windows 10/11 вы можете установить .Net Framework из панели Turn Windows Features on or off:

1. Выполните команду
   optionalfeatures.exe
   ;
2. В списке компонентов выберите .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0), нажмите ОК;

Если ваш компьютер не подключен к интернету или находится в изолированной сети, то при установке .NET 3.5 появится ошибка:

Windows couldn’t complete the requested changes.
The changes couldn’t be completed. Please reboot your computer and try again.
Error code: 0x8024402C

В этом случае вы можете вручную установить компоненты NET 3.5 с вашего установочного образа (диска) Windows. Для этого вам понадобится установочная USB флешка или файл с ISO образом вашей версии Windows (как проверить версию Windows в ISO образе):

1. Подключите ваш носитель с ставочным образом Windows к компьютеру. В моем случае у меня есть файл Windows11-22h2.iso. Щелкните по файлы и выберите Mount, чтобы смонтировать образ в виртуальный DVD привод (или воспользуйтесь командой PowerShell:
   Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath "C:\distr\Windows11-22h2.iso"
   );
2. В моем случае виртуальному приводу с образом была назначена буква диска E: (мы будем использовать эту букву в следующих командах);
3. Чтобы установить .Net 3.5 из файлов компонентов на установочном диске выполните команду:
   DISM /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:E:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
   

   Или (аналогичная PowerShell команда):
   Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name NetFx3~~~~ -Source E:\Sources\SxS

Чтобы проверить, что .NET Framework успешно установлен, выполните команду:

Get-WindowsCapability -Online -Name NetFx3~~~~

Name         : NetFX3~~~~
State        : Installed
DisplayName  : .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)
Description  : .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)
DownloadSize : 72822163
InstallSize  : 496836410

Выведите список версий .NET Framework, которые установлены на вашем компьютере:

Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP' -Recurse | Get-ItemProperty -Name version -EA 0 | Where { $_.PSChildName -Match ‘^(?!S)\p{L}’} | Select PSChildName, version

[/alert]

Как установить .NET 3.5 в Windows Server 2022/2019/2016?

В Windows Server 2022,2019,2016 и 2012 R2 вы можете установить NET Framefork 3.5 несколькими способам:

• ерез Server Manager (Add roles and features -> Features -> .NET Framework 3.5 Features -> .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0 );
• С помощью DISM:
  DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All
• С помощью PowerShell:
  Install-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Core

При этом установочные файлы .NET 3.5 для вашей версии Windows Server будут загружены с серверов Windows Update. Чтобы сработал этот метод установки нужно убедиться:

1. Ваш Windows Server должен иметь прямой доступ в Интернет. Настройки прокси-сервера и файервола не должны ограничивать доступ к серверам Windows Update.
2. Хост не должен быть настроен на получения обновлений с локального WSUS сервера (проверьте настройки обновлений Windows в групповых политиках или напрямую в реестре);

   Проверьте значение параметра UseWUServer в реестре:
   Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name "UseWUServer" | select -ExpandProperty UseWUServer
   Если значение параметра равно 1, значить ваш хост будет пытаться получить обновления с локального WSUS сервера. В этом случае при установке .NET 3.5 появится ошибка 0x800F0954. Измените значение параметра на 0 или удалите его, чтобы подключиться напрямую к серверам обновлений Windows Update.

Если ваш сервер имеет доступ в Интернет, но настроен на получение обновлений со WSUS, при устапновке NET Framework появится ошибка 0x800f081f.

Решение: установить .Net 3.5 онлайн с серверов Microsoft и игнорировать локальный WSUS:

• Экспортируйте в reg файл текущие настройки Windows Update в ветке HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate (
  reg export HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate c:\WindowsUpdateRegFile.reg
  )
• Удалите данную ветку (
  Remove-Item -Path HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate -Recurse
  ) и перезапустите службу:
  net stop wuauserv & net start wuauserv
• Запустите установку .Net из Интернета:
  DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All
• После окончания установки верните настройки WU, импортировав reg файл (
  Reg import c:\WindowsUpdateRegFile.reg
  ) и еще раз перезапустите службу Windows Update

Если с вашего сервера нет прямого доступа в Интернет, то при попытке установить .NET 3.5 в Windows Server через консоль Server Manager появится ошибка 0x800F081F (The source files could not be found), 0x800F0950, 0x8024402c, 0x800F0906 или 0x800F0907 (в зависимости от версии Windows Server).

Хотя .NET Framework 3.5 присутствует в списке компонентов Windows Server 2022/2019/2016/2012R2, на самом деле его бинарные файлы в хранилище компонентов Windows отсутствуют (концепция Features on Demand). Это сделано, чтобы уменьшить размер образа операционной системы на диске. Вы можете проверить наличие.NET Framework 3.5 в локальном хранилище компонентов Windows Server с помощью команды:

Get-WindowsFeature *Framework*

Картинка с сайта: winitpro.ru

Как вы видите статус компонента
NET-Framework-Core
– Removed.

Для установки NET-Framework-Core вам потребуется дистрибутив с вашей версией Windows Server в виде ISO файла, или в распакованном виде в сетевой папке. Смонтируйте ISO образ с дистрибутивом в отдельный виртуальный диск (например, диск D:).

Теперь вы можете установить .Net Framework 3.5 с помощью графической консоли Server Manager:

Установить компонент .Net 3.5 можно из графической консоли Server Manager. Для этого выберите компонент .Net Framework 3.5 Features, но, перед тем, как нажать кнопку Install, нажмите небольшую ссылку внизу мастера — Specify an alternative source path.

1. Для этого выберите компонент .Net Framework5 Features. Перед тем, как нажать кнопку Install, нажмите на ссылку Specify an alternative source path внизу;
   

   Картинка с сайта: winitpro.ru

2. Укажите путь к хранилищу компонентов (SXS) дистрибутива Windows Server. Если вы смонтировали дистрибутив в виртуальный привод, это может быть путь
   D:\sources\sxs
   . Также это может быть сетевая папка, куда вы предварительно скопировали дистрибутив (например,
   \\server1\distr\ws2022\sources\sxs
   ). Нажмите ОК.
   

   Картинка с сайта: winitpro.ru

Гораздо проще установить компонент Net Framework 3.5 Features из командной строки или консоли PowerShell, запущенной с правами администратора. Просто выполните команду:

Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

Картинка с сайта: winitpro.ru

Если вы хотите установить компонент Windows Server с помощью PowerShell, воспользуйтесь командой Add-WindowsFeature:

Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Core -Source d:\sources\sxs

После завершения установки компонента, перезагрузка сервера не требуется.

Также вы можете вручную скопировать 2 cab файла
microsoft-windows-netfx3...
из каталога sources\sxs вашего дистрибутива. В этом случае для установки .Net 3.5 достаточно выоплнить команду:

dism /online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:install\net35\microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~.cab.

Настройка параметров офлайн установка .Net 3.5 помощью GPO

С помощью групповой политики Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair (находится в разделе GPO Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System) можно настроить особые параметры установки компонентов Windows из локального источника или Windows Update даже при использовании WSUS.

На отдельностоящем компьютере вы можете включить этот параметр политики с помощью редактора локальной GPO (gpedit.msc). В среде Active Directory вы можете создать политику для всех компьютеров/серверов с помощью консоли GPMC.

Здесь можно указать, что при установки или восстановлении компонентов Windows необходимо всегда загружать файлы из Интернета с серверов Windows Update вместо локального WSUS (опция Download repair content and optional features directly from Windows Update instead of Windows Server Update Services — WSUS).

Также можно указать путь к каталогу с компонентами Windows Server (или wim файлу), который нужно использовать при офлайн установке (указывается в параметр Alternate source file path). Вы можете указать:

• • Путь к сетевой папке в UNC формате (
    \\server\distr\ws2016\sxs
    ) (здесь можно указать несколько UNC путей через точки с запятой:
    \\srv1\ws22\sxs;\\fs01\ws22\sxs;\\fs3\sxs

• Также допустимо указывать WIM файл в качестве источника:
  WIM:\\srv1\distr\ws2016\install.wim:2
  (в этом случае
  2
  – это индекс образа вашей редакции Windows Server в WIM файле. Список доступных редакций в файле можно вывести так:
  DISM /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:"\\server\distr\ws2016\install.wim"
  )

Картинка с сайта: winitpro.ru

Для разных версий Windows Server нужно использовать разные источники с каталогом SXS. Если в вашей сети есть несколько версии Windows Server, нужно создать отдельные GPO с разными UNC путями к сетевой папке с SXS. Чтобы GPO применялась только к хостам с определенными версиями Windows Server, можно использовать WMI фильтры групповых политик.

We like to update .NET Framework in Exchange Server 2013/2016/2019 because we want to install Exchange Cumulative Update. What is the best approach to update .NET Framework in Exchange Server? Do we first update .NET Framework or run the Exchange Cumulative Update? These questions are asked a lot.

Many Exchange admins have seen Exchange Servers break and not work after a Cumulative Update. This article will teach you how to update .NET Framework when updating Cumulative Updates in Exchange Server.

Introduction

It’s important to know that .NET Framework is a must for Exchange Server. When installing Cumulative Updates on Exchange 2013/2016/2019, we sometimes have to update .NET Framework. However, that is not always the case. Sometimes you can run the Cumulative Update without updating .NET Framework. Yes, we can download .NET Framework for free.

What Microsoft is saying about .NET Framework:

When upgrading Exchange Server from an unsupported CU to the current CU and no intermediate CUs are available, you should first upgrade to the latest version of .NET that’s supported by your version of Exchange Server and then immediately upgrade to the current CU. This method doesn’t replace the need to keep your Exchange servers up to date and on the latest supported CU. Microsoft makes no claim that an upgrade failure will not occur using this method, which may result in the need to contact Microsoft Support Services.

Keep .NET Framework and Exchange Server up to date

Keep your Exchange Server up to date so that you don’t have to carry out a longer update path. I recommend downloading the Exchange CU ISO when it’s available and save it to the hard disk. Microsoft does remove older Exchange CUs when newer versions are released. When saving the Exchange CU ISO, you can always carry out the upgrade path. You can use an unofficial website to download an older Exchange CU.

How to update .NET Framework and Exchange Server Cumulative Update

Don’t immediately update when a .NET Framework version or Exchange Server version is released. Always wait and check if bugs are rising. Don’t forget to always test the Exchange Server CU in a test environment before updating it in production.

I made a flowchart that will show the procedure on how to update .NET Framework and Exchange Server Cumulative Update for:

• Exchange Server 2013
• Exchange Server 2016
• Exchange Server 2019

To keep it simple, keep these two steps in mind when planning the update path:

1. Update to the last Exchange version that is supported by the .NET Framework (blue arrow)
2. Update to the last .NET Framework that is supported for the Exchange Server (green arrow)

Keep updating till you’re on the version that you want to be. It will most likely be the last released Exchange version.

Exchange Server 2013

Let’s have an example with the following company called EXOIP. The company is currently running Exchange Server 2013 CU10 and .NET Framework 4.5.1. They want to update to the latest Exchange Server version, which is Exchange Server 2013 CU23. Let’s look at how to do that without breaking the Exchange Server.

Wondering how to install .NET framework 4.8 on windows server 2016? We can help you.

Installing the latest .Net framework on the server improves the performance and speed of the web apps.

At Bobcares, we often receive requests to install the .Net framework on the windows server as part of our Server Management Services.

Today, let’s discuss how our Support Engineers do it easily for our customers.

What is the .NET Framework?

.NET Framework by Microsoft is used to run and create applications and services which are based on the XML web.

The .NET software on Windows cannot run if the .NET Framework is not installed on the system.

The main advantages it provides include, Integration, Reliability, Performance, Productivity, and security.

How to install .NET Framework 4.8 on Windows 2016?

Recently, one of our customers approached us to install the latest .Net framework on his dedicated server. Let’s see how our Support Engineers install the .Net framework for them.

1. Initially, we RDP to the server.
2. Then open the web browser from the server and download the required .NET Framework from the below link.

   https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework
   Click on the .NET Framework 4.8 link and the Download .NET Framework 4.8 option.
   

3. Then right-click on the downloaded file. We click on the Properties and unblock it.
4. Then double click on the file and complete the installation.
5. After the .Net installation, the server will ask for a reboot. So we reboot the server.
6. Then we open the corresponding Plesk panel of the server.
7. Select the Tools and Settings from the Plesk.
8. Then under the  Applications & Databases, we choose ASP.NET Settings.
9. Then we check whether the new version updates under Framework Version.

How to change the ASP.NET version on an account?

We follow the below steps to change the .Net version of an account.

1. Firstly we log in to Plesk.
2. Then from the left sidebar, we click Websites & Domains.
3. After that select the account and click Hosting Settings.
4. Then under the Web Scripting and Statistics, in the Microsoft ASP.NET support (Version) list box, we select the ASP.NET version.
5. Finally, we click the Ok button.

Few Installation errors

We have also found that the installation may end up with errors. Here are some such instances and their solution by our Support Techs.

• Installation failed with error code: (0x8000FFFF), “Catastrophic failure”

While installing .NET Framework v4.8, we may come across a “0x8000ffff catastrophic failure” error.

In order to solve this error we follow the below steps:

1. Temporarily turn off the security software.
2. Then open the command prompt and run as administrator:

   DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

3. Check the permission of the C:\Windows\ System32 \CatRoot2\ folder and give full control to the NETWORK SERVICE and SYSTEM and CryptSvc accounts.

• This application could not be started

Applications for the .NET Framework typically require a specific version of the .NET Framework to install on the system. In some cases, we attempt to run an application without either an installed version or the expected version.

This often produces an error dialog box stating, ‘This application could not be started’

This typically indicates one of the following conditions:

1. Corruption of a .NET Framework installation on the system.
2. The version of the .NET Framework needed by the application cannot be detected.

Our Support Techs resolve this by following the below procedure:

Initially, we download the .NET Framework Repair Tool (NetFxRepairTool.exe) from the URL: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30135‘

Once the download completes the tool runs automatically.

However, if the .NET Framework Repair Tool recommends any additional action, we select Next.

It displays a dialog box to indicate that changes are complete. We leave this dialog box open while we to try rerun the application.

This should succeed if the .NET Framework Repair Tool has identified and corrected a corrupted .NET Framework installation.

If the application runs successfully, select the Finish button. Otherwise, select the Next button.

If we select the Next button, the .NET Framework Repair Tool displays a dialog box regarding the logs to be sent to Microsoft. Select the Finish button to send diagnostic information to Microsoft.

If we still fail to run the application, we install the latest version of the .NET Framework supported by the version of Windows. Then attempt to launch the application.

In some cases, we may see a dialog box that asks to install the .NET Framework 3.5. Select Download and install this feature, then launch the application again.
