Q: How can I use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool to enable a role or feature in a mounted Windows Imaging Format or Virtual Hard Disk?
A: Once a Windows Imaging Format (WIM) or Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) has been mounted, you can use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to manage it. The following commands can be useful:
Create a folder for the mount:
Mkdir c:mountwimView images within a WIM file:
Dism /get-imageinfo /imagefile:"s:OS ImagesWindows Server 2012 R2 Update 1sourcesinstall.wim"Mount a specific image from a WIM file into the created folder:
Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:"s:OS ImagesWindows Server 2012 R2 Update 1sourcesinstall.wim" /index:4 /mountdir:c:mountwimView all features and their enabled state in the mounted image:
Dism /image:c:mountwim /get-features (also could do /get-drivers)View all drivers in the mounted image:
Dism /image:c:mountwim /get-driversGet feature information for a specific role:
Dism /image:c:mountwim /get-featureinfo /featurename:file-servicesEnable a role and all subroles:
Dism /image:c:mountwim /enable-feature /featurename:file-services –allUnmount a WIM and save the changes (use /discard to not save changes):
Dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:mountwim /commit
