0.015: c:\4070abb43da3a79374\update\update.exe (version 6.3.13.0)
0.015: Failed To Enable SE_BACKUP_PRIVILEGE
0.015: Setup encountered an error: You do not have permission to update Windows Server 2003.
Please contact your system administrator.
0.015: You do not have permission to update Windows Server 2003.
Please contact your system administrator.
0.015: Update.exe extended error code = 0xf004
0.015: Update.exe return code was masked to 0x643 for MSI custom action compliance.
Root Cause of the issue: You must have this user right to perform backup operations. Rights needs to be given to SE_SECURITY_PRIVILEGE
== The article https://support.microsoft.com/kb/888791 describes why these set of permission is required and one can always refer to the same
== The article is all about “The user rights that are required by Update.exe”
Resolution: Enable SE_SECURITY_PRIVILEGE
== To enable the rights we can use the command line “ntrights.exe +r SeBackupPrivilege -u machinename\Username”
I was able to this issue in one of the Windows 2003 R2 Box. Again it might vary in different OS.
