Administering windows server 2012 : Training Guide. 70-411

So I started studding for 70-411 and since a couple of colleagues have passed this exam with only Traning guide I went ahead and got it. As I did for 70-410 the author is really good and I really like the way he explains things but with 70-410 I did run into a lot of issues trying to follow him on the practices exercises (which are AWESOME hands on exp).
So now that I'm reading this one I wanted to make a post to either help me or help others that also read this book. I read the errata Training Guide: Administering Windows Server 2012 Confirmed Errata | O'Reilly Media before posting.

1st Issue I found is I get an error when running
Dism.exe /image:c:\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:"c:\updates\Update for Windows Server 2012 (KB2756872)"

Processing 1 of 3 - Adding package c:\Updates\Update for Windows Server 2012 (KB

I tried this like 3 times and I always get the same error I thought it was something I was doing but after so many attempts I don't know what im doing wrong. I google the issue but I cant find an answer. Is not a big deal but I just like to fix stuff i guess.
Edit: I am running CMD as admin.

Have you verified the update is the actual (complete) file?

Yeah, I downloaded it twice. Apparently there is a lot of ppl having this issue for when I can see online most got it resolved disabling the antivirus but this is a fresh install on windows sever 2012 and it doesnt have any antivirus I was looking to see if Windows Defender was part of it but I couldnt find it.

Another issue on page 111 the last exercise and the last step:

Enter the name Contoso\GMSA-Alpha, click Check Names, and click OK.
11.In the Windows Update Properties (Local Computer) dialog box shown in Figure 2-41, click OK.

When I click ok it says I have to specify a password I enter Pa$$word!! (maybe i should enter something else) twice and then I'm able to click ok, I get a message that i have to stop the service and restart it to take effect I do it and I get the following error.
[h=1]Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process.[/h]If I find an answer I will post it later.
