DISM Image Management Command-Line Options
Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM.exe) mounts a Windows image (.wim) file or virtual hard disk (.vhd or .vhdx) for servicing. You can also use the DISM image management command to list the image index numbers, to verify the architecture for the image that you are mounting, append an image, apply an image, capture an image and delete an image. After you update the image, you must unmount it and either commit or discard the changes that you have made.
This topic discusses DISM commands related to image management. To see other command-line options, see Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) Command-Line Options. For more information about common DISM scenarios, see What is DISM?.
In addition to the command-line tool, DISM is available by using Windows PowerShell. For more information, see Deployment Imaging Servicing Management (DISM) Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell.
The following commands can be used to mount, unmount, capture, append, and delete and query .wim, .vhd and .vhdx files. These options are not case sensitive.
/Append-Image
Adds an additional image to a .wim file. /Append-Image compares new files to the resources in the existing .wim file specified by the /ImageFile argument, and stores only a single copy of each unique file so that each file is only captured once. The .wim file can have only one assigned compression type. Therefore, you can only append files with the same compression type.
This command-line option does not apply to virtual hard disk (VHD) files.
Important
Ensure that you have enough disk space for the /Append-Image option to run. If you run out of disk space while the image is being appended, you might corrupt the .wim file.
Syntax:
DISM.exe /Append-Image /ImageFile:<path_to_image_file> /CaptureDir:<source_directory> /Name:<image_name> [/Description:<image_description>] [/ConfigFile:<configuration_file.ini>] [/Bootable] /WIMBoot [/CheckIntegrity] [/Verify] [/NoRpFix]
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| /WIMBoot | Use /WIMBoot to append the image with Windows image file boot (WIMBoot) configuration. This only applies to Windows 8.1 images that have been captured or exported as a WIMBoot file. This feature isn't supported in Windows 10 and later. |
| /ConfigFile | specifies the location of a configuration file that lists exclusions for image capture and compress commands. For more information, see DISM Configuration List and WimScript.ini Files. |
| /Bootable | Marks a volume image as being a bootable image. This argument is available only for Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) images. Only one volume image can be marked as bootable in a .wim file. |
| /CheckIntegrity | Detects and tracks .wim file corruption when used with capture, unmount, export, and commit operations. /CheckIntegrity stops the operation if DISM detects that the .wim file is corrupted when used with apply and mount operations. |
| /Verify | Checks for errors and file duplication. |
| /NoRpFix | Disables the reparse point tag fix. A reparse point is a file that contains a link to another file on the file system. If /NoRpFix is not specified, reparse points that resolve to paths outside of the value specified by /ImageFile will not be captured. |
Example:
Dism /Append-Image /ImageFile:install.wim /CaptureDir:D:\ /Name:Drive-D
/Apply-FFU
For FFU, this command applies a Full Flash Utility (FFU) or split FFU (SFU) to a specified physical drive.
Syntax:
/Apply-Ffu /ImageFile:<path_to_image_file> /ApplyDrive:<physical_drive_path> [/SFUFile:<pattern>]
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| /ImageFile | The path and name of the FFU image file that will be applied |
| /ApplyDrive | The path to the phyisical drive that will be imaged |
| /SFUfile<pattern> | Optional, for split FFUs that are captured with no compression. Use /SFUFile to reference split FFU files (SFUs). Pattern is the naming pattern and location of split files. Use a wildcard character when specifying the naming pattern. For example, "E:\image\install*.sfu" will apply all of the split files in the E:\image directory named install1.sfu, install2.sfu, and so on. |
Example:
DISM.exe /Apply-Ffu /ImageFile:flash.ffu /ApplyDrive:\\.\PhysicalDrive0
/Apply-Image
For WIM, this command applies a Windows image file (.wim) or a split Windows image (.swm) files to a specified partition. Beginning with Windows 10, version 1607, DISM can apply and capture extended attributes (EA).
For FFU, this command applies a full flash update (.ffu) image to a specified drive. It doesn’t support applying an image from a virtual hard disk (.vhdx) file, though you can use this command to apply a full image to a VHD. FFU applies to Windows 10 only. While you can use this command to apply an FFU, use /apply-ffu instead.
This option doesn’t support applying an image from a virtual hard disk (VHD), though you can use this command to apply images to a .vhdx file that's been attached, partitioned, and formatted.
Arguments for WIM:
DISM.exe /Apply-Image /ImageFile:<path_to_image_file> [/SWMFile:<pattern>] /ApplyDir:<target_directory> {/Index:< image_index> | /Name:<image_name>} [/CheckIntegrity] [/Verify] [/NoRpFix] [/ConfirmTrustedFile] [/WIMBoot (deprecated)] [/Compact] [/EA]
Arguments for FFU
See /apply-ffu.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| /CheckIntegrity | Detects and tracks .wim file corruption when used with capture, unmount, export, and commit operations. /CheckIntegrity stops the operation if DISM detects that the .wim file is corrupted when used with apply and mount operations. |
| /Verify | Checks for errors and file duplication. |
| /NoRpFix | Disables the reparse point tag fix. A reparse point is a file that contains a link to another file on the file system. If /NoRpFix is not specified, reparse points that resolve to paths outside the value specified by /ImageFile will not be captured. |
| /SWMFile | Enables you to reference split .wim files (SWMs). Pattern is the naming pattern and location of split files. Use a wildcard character when specifying the naming pattern. For example, "E:\image\install*.swm" will apply all of the split files in the E:\image directory named install1.swm, install2.swm, and so on. |
| /ConfirmTrustedFile | Validates the image for Trusted Desktop. This option can only be run on a computer running at least WinPE 4.0. When using /Apply-Image with the /ConfirmTrustedFile option in WinPE, always specify the /ScratchDir option pointed to a physical media location. This ensures that short file names will always be available. See DISM Global Options for Command-Line Syntax for more information about the default behavior of the /ScratchDir option. Beginning with Windows 10, version 1607, you can use /EA to apply extended attributes. |
| /WIMBoot | Use /WIMBoot to append the image with Windows image file boot (WIMBoot) configuration. This only applies to Windows 8.1 images that have been captured or exported as a WIMBoot file. This feature isn't supported in Windows 10 and later. |
| /Compact | Applies an image in compact mode, saving drive space. Replaces WIMBoot. For Windows 10 for desktop editions (Home, Pro, Enterprise, and Education) only. Note: If you're applying an image in compact mode with the /ScratchDir option, make sure your ScratchDir folder is not on a FAT32-formatted partition. Using a FAT32 partition could result in unexpected reboots during OOBE. |
| /EA | New in Windows 10, version 1607. Applies extended attributes. |
| /ApplyDrive | Specifies the logical drive, using the DeviceID. to get the device ID from the command line, type "wmic diskdrive list brief". Note: a VHD may appear with the name “PhysicalDrive” in the description, for example, .\PhysicalDrive2. |
| /SFUFile | Use /SFUFile to reference split FFU files (SFUs). Pattern is the naming pattern and location of split files. |
Examples:
Dism /apply-image /imagefile:install.wim /index:1 /ApplyDir:D:\
Dism /apply-image /imagefile:install.swm /swmfile:install*.swm /index:1 /applydir:D:
/Capture-CustomImage
Captures the incremental file changes based on the specific install.wim file to a new file, custom.wim for a WIMBoot image. You can’t capture an empty directory. The captured files are converted to pointer files. The custom.wim is placed in the same folder next to the install.wim.
Important
- /Capture-CustomImage only captures the customization files. It can’t be used to capture installation files into a new WIM.
- Keep the install.wim and custom.wim files together. Don't switch out either the custom.wim file or the install.wim file.
- You can only capture the custom image once. Don’t remove or recapture a custom.wim after capturing the incremental file changes.
Syntax:
Dism /Capture-CustomImage /CaptureDir:<source_directory> [/ConfigFile:<configuration_file.ini>] [/CheckIntegrity] [/Verify] [/ConfirmTrustedFile]
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| /CaptureDir | Specifies the directory to which the image was applied and customized. |
| /ConfigFile | Specifies the location of a configuration file that lists exclusions for image capture and compress commands. For more information, see DISM Configuration List and WimScript.ini Files. |
| /CheckIntegrity | Detects and tracks .wim file corruption when used with capture, unmount, export, and commit operations. /CheckIntegrity stops the operation if DISM detects that the .wim file is corrupted when used with apply and mount operations. |
| /Verify | Checks for errors and file duplication. |
| [/ConfirmTrustedFile | Validates the image for Trusted Desktop on a Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8. This option can only be run on a computer running at least WinPE 4.0. |
Example:
Dism /Capture-CustomImage /CaptureDir:D:\
/Capture-FFU
Captures an image of a physical drive's partitions to a new .ffu file.
You can capture the image as a full flash utility image (.ffu) file or a set of split ffu (.sfu) files;
Syntax:
Dism /Capture-Ffu /ImageFile:<path_to_image_file> /CaptureDrive:<physical_drive_path> /Name:<image_name> [/Description:<image_description>] [/PlatformIds:<platform_ids>] [/Compress:{default|none}]
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| /CaptureDrive | The physical drive to be captured. You can use diskpart to get drive number information. Uses the format \\.\PhysicalDriveX, where X is the disk number that diskpart provides. |
| /PlatformIds | Not needed for desktop capture. Specifies one or more platform ids (separated with semicolon) to be added to the image. If not specified, platform id will be '*'. |
| /Compress | Specifies the type of compression used for when capturing. If you'll be splitting the FFU, specify none, as DISM doesn't support splitting compressed FFUs. |
Examples:
Capture a desktop FFU:
DISM.exe /Capture-Ffu /ImageFile:install.ffu /CaptureDrive:\\.\PhysicalDrive0 /Name:Drive0
Capture a desktop FFU that will be split:
DISM.exe /Capture-Ffu /ImageFile:install.ffu /CaptureDrive:\\.\PhysicalDrive0 /Name:Drive0 /Compress:none
/Capture-Image
Captures an image of a drive to a new .wim file. Captured directories include all subfolders and data. You cannot capture an empty directory. A directory must contain at least one file. DISM can also optionally apply and capture extended attributes (EA).
You can capture the image as a Windows image (.wim) file or a set of split Windows image (.swm) files, but this option doesn’t support capturing a virtual hard disk (.vhd/.vhdx) file. See /Capture-FFU if you are looking to capture an FFU.
Syntax:
Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:<path_to_image_file> /CaptureDir:<source_directory> /Name:<image_name> [/Description:<image_description>]
[/ConfigFile:<configuration_file.ini>] {[/Compress:{max|fast|none}] [/Bootable] | [/WIMBoot]} [/CheckIntegrity] [/Verify] [/NoRpFix] [/EA]
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| /ConfigFile | Specifies the location of a configuration file that lists exclusions for image capture and compress commands. For more information, see DISM Configuration List and WimScript.ini Files. |
| /Compress | Specifies the type of compression used for the initial capture operation. The maximum option provides the best compression, but takes more time to capture the image. The fast option provides faster image compression, but the resulting files are larger than those compressed by using the maximum option. This is also the default compression type that is used if you do not specify the argument. The none option does not compress the captured image at all. |
| /Bootable | Marks a volume image as being a bootable image. This argument is available only for WinPE images. Only one volume image can be marked as bootable in a .wim file. |
| /CheckIntegrity | Detects and tracks .wim file corruption when used with capture, unmount, export, and commit operations. /CheckIntegrity stops the operation if DISM detects that the .wim file is corrupted when used with apply and mount operations. |
| /Verify | Checks for errors and file duplication. |
| /NoRpFix | Disables the reparse point tag fix. A reparse point is a file that contains a link to another file on the file system. If /NoRpFix is not specified, reparse points that resolve to paths outside of the value specified by /ImageFile will not be captured. |
| /WIMBoot | Use /WIMBoot to append the image with Windows image file boot (WIMBoot) configuration. This only applies to Windows 8.1 images that have been captured or exported as a WIMBoot file. This feature isn't supported in Windows 10 and later. |
| /EA | Captures extended attributes. The switch must be explicitly specified to capture extended attributes. DISM will capture extended attribute bits if they are set in the components to be captured in the WIM image. If the bits are not set, DISM won't set them. Only the inbox components of CAB packages and drivers will have these extended attribute bits, not the AppX package components or Win32 application components. Extended attributes with prefix “$Kernel.” in name will be skipped because only user mode extended attributes are captured. If you use DISM in Windows 10, version 1607 to capture extended attributes and use an earlier version of DISM to apply the image, the operation will succeed but the extended attributes will not be set to the applied image. |
Examples:
Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:install.wim /CaptureDir:D:\ /Name:Drive-D
dism /Capture-Image /CaptureDir:C:\ /ImageFile:"C:\WindowsWithOffice.wim" /Name:"Chinese Traditional" /ea
/Cleanup-Mountpoints
Deletes all of the resources associated with a mounted image that has been corrupted. This command will not unmount images that are already mounted, nor will it delete images that can be recovered using the /Remount-Image command.
Example:
Dism /Cleanup-Mountpoints
To learn more, see Repair a Windows Image
/Commit-Image
Applies the changes that you have made to the mounted image. The image remains mounted until the /Unmount-Image option is used.
Syntax:
Dism /Commit-Image /MountDir:<path_to_mount_directory> [/CheckIntegrity] [/Append]
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| /CheckIntegrity | Detects and tracks .wim file corruption when used with capture, unmount, export, and commit operations. /CheckIntegrity stops the operation if DISM detects that the .wim file is corrupted when used with apply and mount operations. |
| /Append | Adds the modified image to the existing .wim file instead of overwriting the original image. The /CheckIntegrity and /Append arguments do not apply to virtual hard disk (VHD) files. |
Example:
Dism /Commit-Image /MountDir:C:\test\offline
/Delete-Image
Deletes the specified volume image from a .wim file that has multiple volume images. This option deletes only the metadata entries and XML entries. It does not delete the stream data and does not optimize the .wim file.
This command-line option does not apply to virtual hard disk (VHD) files.
Syntax:
Dism /Delete-Image /ImageFile:<path_to_image_file> {/Index:<image_index> | /Name:<image_name>} [/CheckIntegrity]
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| /CheckIntegrity | Detects and tracks .wim file corruption when used with capture, unmount, export, and commit operations. /CheckIntegrity stops the operation if DISM detects that the .wim file is corrupted when used with apply and mount operations. |
Example:
Dism /Delete-Image /ImageFile:install.wim /Index:1
/Export-Image
Exports a copy of the specified image to another file. The source and destination files must use the same compression type. You can also optimize an image by exporting to a new image file. When you modify an image, DISM stores additional resource files that increase the overall size of the image. Exporting the image will remove unnecessary resource files.
This command-line option does not apply to virtual hard disk (VHD) files.
Syntax:
Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:<path_to_image_file> {/SourceIndex:<image_index> | /SourceName:<image_name>} /DestinationImageFile:<path_to_image_file> [/DestinationName:<Name>] [/Compress:{fast|max|none|recovery}] [/Bootable] [/WIMBoot] [/CheckIntegrity]
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| /SWMFile | Enables you to reference split .wim files. pattern is the naming pattern and location of split files. You can also specify wildcard characters. For example, "E:\image\install*.swm" will export the split files in the E:\image directory named install1.swm, install2.swm, and so on. |
| /Compress | Specifies the type of compression used for the initial capture operation. The /Compress argument does not apply when you export an image to an existing .wim file, you can only use this argument when you export an image to a new .wim file. The maximum option provides the best compression, but takes more time to capture the image. The fast option provides faster image compression, but the resulting files are larger than those compressed by using the maximum option. This is also the default compression type that is used if you do not specify the argument. Use the recovery option to export push-button reset images. The resulting files are much smaller in size, which in turn, greatly reduce the amount of disk space needed for saving the push-button reset image on a recovery drive. The destination file must be specified with an .esd extension. The none option does not compress the captured image at all. |
| /Bootable | Marks a volume image as being a bootable image. This argument is available only for WinPE images. Only one volume image can be marked as bootable in a .wim file. |
| /WIMBoot | Use /WIMBoot to append the image with Windows image file boot (WIMBoot) configuration. This only applies to Windows 8.1 images that have been captured or exported as a WIMBoot file. This feature isn't supported in Windows 10 and later. |
| /CheckIntegrity | Detects and tracks .wim file corruption when used with capture, unmount, export, and commit operations. /CheckIntegrity stops the operation if DISM detects that the .wim file is corrupted when used with apply and mount operations. |
Example:
Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:install2.wim
/Get-ImageInfo
Displays information about the images that are contained in a .wim, .ffu, .vhd or .vhdx file. When used with the /Index or /Name argument, information about the specified image is displayed, which includes if an image is a WIMBoot image, if the image is Windows 8.1, see Take Inventory of an Image or Component Using DISM. The /Name argument does not apply to VHD files. You must specify /Index:1 for FFU and VHDX files.
Syntax:
Dism /Get-ImageInfo /ImageFile:<path_to_image.wim> [{/Index:<Image_index> | /Name:<Image_name>}]
Examples:
Dism /Get-ImageInfo /ImageFile:C:\test\offline\install.wim
Dism /Get-ImageInfo /ImageFile:C:\test\images\myimage.vhd /Index:1
/Get-MountedImageInfo
Returns a list of .ffu, .vhd, .vhdx, and .wim images that are currently mounted, as well as information about the mounted image such as whether the image is valid, read/write permissions, mount location, mounted file path, and mounted image index.
Example:
Dism /Get-MountedImageInfo
/Get-WIMBootEntry
Use /Get-WIMBootEntry to display WIMBoot configuration entries for the specified disk volume.
For more information about how to display WIMBoot configuration entries, see Take Inventory of an Image or Component Using DISM.

Example:
Dism /List-Image /ImageFile:install.wim /Index:1
/Mount-Image
Mounts an image from a .ffu, .wim, .vhd or .vhdx file to the specified directory so that it is available for servicing.
When mounting an image, note the following:
- The mount directory must be created, but empty.
- An index or name value is required for all image types. WIMs can contain more than image. For FFU and VHD, use
index:1.
Syntax:
Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:<path_to_image_file> {/Index:<image_index> | /Name:<image_name>} /MountDir:<path_to_mount_directory> [/ReadOnly] [/Optimize] [/CheckIntegrity]
| Parameter | Description |

Example:
Dism /Remount-Image /MountDir:C:\test\offline
/Split-FFU
For FFU, this command splits an existing full-flash update (.ffu) file into multiple read-only split .sfu files. DISM doesn't support splitting compressed FFUs. If you are splitting FFUs, make sure that your FFU was captured with the /compress:none option specificed.
This option creates the .sfu files in the specified directory, naming each file the same as the specified /SFUFile, but with an appended number. For example, if you use c:\flash.sfu, you'll get a flash.sfu file, a flash2.ffu file, a flash3.sfu file, and so on, defining each portion of the split .sfu file and saving it to the C:\ directory.
Syntax for FFU:
Dism /Split-Ffu /ImageFile:<path_to_image_file> /SFUFile:<pattern> /FileSize:<MB-Size> [/CheckIntegrity]
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| /FileSize | Specifies the maximum size in megabytes (MB) for each created file. If a single file is larger than the value specified in the /FileSize option, one of the split .swm files that results will be larger than the value specified in the /FileSize option, in order to accommodate the large file. |
| /CheckIntegrity | Detects and tracks .wim file corruption when used with capture, unmount, export, and commit operations. /CheckIntegrity stops the operation if DISM detects that the .wim file is corrupted when used with apply and mount operations. |
| /ImageFile | Specifies the path of a .FFU file, example: flash.ffu. |
| /SFUFile | References split FFU files (SFUs). Pattern is the naming pattern and location of split files. |
Example:
DISM.exe /Split-Ffu /ImageFile:flash.ffu /SFUFile:flash.sfu /FileSize:650
/Split-Image
For WIM, this command splits an existing .wim file into multiple read-only split .swm files.
This option creates the .swm files in the specified directory, naming each file the same as the specified path_to_swm, but with an appended number. For example, if you set path_to_swm as c:\Data.swm, this option creates a Data.swm file, a Data2.swm file, a Data3.swm file, and so on, defining each portion of the split .wim file and saving it to the C:\ directory.
This command-line option does not apply to virtual hard disk (VHD) files.
Syntax for WIM:
