The utility required in this case is the Deployment Image Service Image and Management tool, or “DISM”. The predecessor to DISM, the ImageX tool, has been deprecated since Windows 8 and cannot be used to manage image files for the DX8200D family of appliances. DISM is distributed by Microsoft as part of the Windows Assessment and Deployment Toolkit and is also available within the Windows Recovery Environment (‘WinRE’). The DISM utility allows the deployment image file to be mounted to a folder path on a Windows host, whereupon its content may be modified directly as with any other NTFS file system (i.e.

  • Windows Deployment Toolkit Overview
    Application Compatibility Manager (ACM) is significantly updated and is now the functional centerpiece of ACT. The new Runtime Analysis Package (RAP) gathers compatibility information and replaces the issue detectors and down-level agents from previous ACT releases. RAP runs in the background on the computers where application testing is being performed. Inventory collection now supports inventories of 64-bit applications and ActiveX issues, and other Internet Explorer add-ons. Application compatibility information is now focused on operating system deployment. Compatibility information for updates has been removed. For more information, see Application Compatibility Toolkit. Deployment and Imaging You can use the following tools to customize Windows images and to automate installation and image management. Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) enables you to capture, apply, and service Windows images. DISM has the following new features: Command-line options to capture, apply, and mount an image file. This functionality was previously available in the ImageX tool. ImageX is deprecated in this release. DISM PowerShell cmdlets, which enable you to use PowerShell to create and deploy images. Support for mounting and servicing Virtual Hard Disk (.vhd) files and Windows Imaging Format (.wim) files. A new API to enable programmatic management of Windows images. Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) enables you to create answer files to use during Windows deployment. Windows Help & Support Customization Tools enable you to customize the Windows help experience. You can customize three pages in Help and Support: Home, Escalation, and the new Browse page. On these pages you can add your information, links to FAQs, and links to your top-level custom topics, so customers can find the Help they need without picking up the phone.

  • Windows Tool Reference
    AppendixChapter A1 Windows Tool Reference Windows Management Tools This appendix lists sets of Windows management, maintenance, configuration, and monitor- ing tools that you may not be familiar with. Some are not automatically installed by Windows Setup but instead are hidden away in obscure folders on your Windows Setup DVD or CD- ROM. Others must be downloaded or purchased from Microsoft. They can be a great help in using, updating, and managing Windows. We’ll discuss the following tool kits: ■ Standard Tools—Our pick of handy programs installed by Windows Setup that we think are unappreciated and not well-enough known. ■ Support Tools—A set of useful command-line and GUI programs that can be installed from your Windows Setup DVD or CD-ROM. ■ Value-Added Tools—Several more sets of utilities hidden away on the Windows Setup CD-ROM. ■ Windows Ultimate Extras and PowerToys for XP—Accessories that can be downloaded for free from microsoft.com. The PowerToys include TweakUI, a program that lets you make adjustments to more Windows settings than you knew existed. ■ Resource Kits—A set of books published by Microsoft for some versions of Windows that includes a CD-ROM containing hundreds of utility programs. What you may not have known is that in some cases you can download the Resource Kit program toolkits with- out purchasing the books. ■ Subsystem for UNIX-Based Applications (SUA)—A package of network services and command-line tools that provide a nearly complete UNIX environment. It can be installed only on Windows Vista Ultimate and Enterprise, and Windows Server 2003.
