Updated: May 31, 2012

Applies To: Windows 8, Windows Server 2012

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 DISM to install, uninstall, configure, and update the features and packages in offline Windows® images and offline Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) images. For more information about common DISM scenarios, see Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) Overview.

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.

DISM replaces several Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK) and Windows OEM Preinstallation Kit (Windows OPK) tools, including PEImg, Intlcfg, Package Manager, and ImageX.
