I have made multiple attempts to update to 7.0.3.00700 via Server Management and it ends in nothing but failures. Current version is 7.0.0.10400. Build 16386335. I made another attempt this evening via CLI and I am receiving this. I can't even access VCSA via WinSCP after it fails to grab any logs. I see the sts service having issues at the end, but not sure what to do about it. Any ideas?

Finally came across this today.
Just ran lsdoctor and it fixed all mismatches. Getting ready to make another upgrade attempt.
