(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…

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!
I have 2 images mounted and ran:
DISM /Get-MountedWimInfo
Mounted images:
Mount Dir : C:\Mount
Image File : C:\wims\install.wim
Image Index : 4
Mounted Read/Write : Yes
Status : Ok
Mount Dir : C:\Mount1
Image File : C:\wims\boot.wim
Image Index : 1
The operation completed successfully.
Possible Status:
OK: The image is mounted with no problems.
Needs Remount: The image needs to be remounted due to . This can be caused by rebooting the host system while the image is mounted.
Invalid: the image is in an invalid state. You might need to use /Cleanup-Wim on the image.

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

11. demo Mounting Wims 11/17/2018 8:33 AM DEMO – the help file .
DEMO – mount a .wim in read-only
shutdown server
Bring it back up
Mount another wim
Dism /get-mountedwiminfo
Mount Dir : c:\Mount
Image File : C:\wims\install.wim
Image Index : 2
Mounted Read/Write : No
Status : Needs Remount
Dism /remount-wim /mountdir:c:\mount
DISM /Get-MountedWimInfo
Mount Dir : C:\Mount
Image Index : 4
Mounted Read/Write : Yes
Status : Ok
Default mounts in a read/write status you can do read-only by:
DISM /Mount-Wim /WimFile:<path_to_WIM_file>
  {/Index:<image_index> | /Name:<image_name>}
  /MountDir:<target_mount_directory> [/readonly]
Show the difference between getting the old Imagex /info switch and the new &
/Get-WimInfo.
Show how easy it is to pipe it to a text file and keep it as documentation after you create an image file.
