3. Overview • What DISM can do for you • Tools that were replaced • DISM Commands • DISM Architecture • DISM Providers • DISM Options

4. What DISM Does For You • Allows you to service images offline • Both .wim and .vhd • Gives you more functionality with consistent syntax • Replaced 3 tools • Package Manager (Pkgmgr.exe) • International Settings Configuration Tool (Intlcfg.exe) • Windows PE command-line tool (PEimg.exe)

5. DISM • Supports only Vista SP1 and later images • Mount / unmount .wims • (no capture or apply feature) • Add / remove 3rd party device drivers ONLY • Add / remove language packs • Enable / disable / configure Windows features • Add Windows updates (MSU’s) • Image Context or NOT…

6. With or Without Image Context… • Elevated CMD • Without Image Context • Dism /? • No image specified - your looking at the image that is currently running - called the HOST • With Image Context • Dism /online /? • Don’t try this on WinPE • Mounted image • Dism /Image:c:\mount\win7 /?

7. Get Information On An Image • In the past we had Imagex • Imagex /info <Path to image file> • For example: • Imagex /info c:\wims\install.wim • NOW we can use DISM • DISM /Get-WimInfo /wimfile:<Path to image file> • Another example: • Dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:c:\wims\install.wim • Document, document, document!

8. Mounting Images:The Whole Story… • Mount an image for offline servicing • Patch Tuesday – adding the new patches • Adding / removing drivers • Enable / disable windows fetaures • Firewall, • DISM /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:<Path to image> /index:1 /MountDir:C:\mount • DISM /Mount-Wim /Wimfile:c:\wims\install.wim /MountDir:C:\Mount

9. Mounted Images • Get mounted wim information • Check your status • OK – good • Needs remount • Status – Needs remount • Attempt to ReMount-Wim • May need to Cleanup-Wim and then Remount-Wim

10. Re-Mounting and Clean-Up • Re-Mount a .Wim • Dism /Remount-Wim /MountDir:<target_mount_directory> • Cleanup a .wim • DISM /Cleanup-Wim

13. Creating a VHD Continued • Still in Diskpart • Sel part 1 • Active • Format fs=ntfs quick • Assign • Detail partition (get the drive letter) • Exit • Mkdir f:\windows • Imagex /apply c:\wims\install.wim 4 f:\ • Edit BCD to boot this new .vhd

14. To Attach a .VHD • Diskpart • Select vdisk file=c:\wims\W7Ultimate.vhd • attach vdisk • assign letter=F • exit

15. Attaching .VHD Images • Diskpart • Select vdisk file=c:\wims\W7Ultimate.vhd • attach vdisk • assign letter=r • exit

16. OR Through Disk Management UI • Disk Management UI • Expand Storage • R-click Disk Management • Attach VHD • Browse to your .vhd file • Can attach files in Read Only mode with one click • To Detach a .vhd • R-click the attached drive • Choose Detach VHD

17. Adding Drivers to a VHD • Attach .VHD • Dism /image:F:\ /Add-Driver /driver:C:\drivers\mydriver.INF • Dism /image:R:\ /Add-Driver /driver:C:\drivers /recurse • Dism /image:R:\ /Add-Driver /driver:C:\drivers\mydriver.INF /ForceUnsigned

19. DISM and The Image • DISM can do different things based on what the operating system is of the image being serviced • Providers are internal to the actual image • Providers are not the same from one OS to the next • Providers can be found in C:\Windows\System32\DISM
