Service a Windows Vista or Server 2008 Image

  • [アーティクル]

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2

Note

This content applies to Windows 7. For Windows 8 content, see Windows Deployment with the Windows ADK.

In Windows Vista® with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server® 2008, the Package Manager command-line tool was provided for updating Windows® images. In Windows® 7, Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM.exe) replaces Package Manager (pkgmgr.exe). DISM provides functional parity with Package Manager so that you can use it to update Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 (SP2), Windows Vista with SP1 and Windows Server 2008 images. However, you do not get the additional functionality that is provided in DISM and Windows 7. In effect, when you service a Windows Vista SP2 or SP1 image with DISM, the tool translates the DISM command to the equivalent Package Manager command so that the image can be updated. For more information, see How Deployment Image Servicing and Management Works.

Important

The Intlcfg.exe tool is deprecated in this release, but is still available for configuring international settings in Windows Vista® and Windows Server® 2008. For command line syntax, see Intlcfg Command-Line Options. For information about using Intlcfg.exe, see the Windows Vista SP1 release of the Windows OPK or Windows AIK.

This topic includes:

Important
Command-line Help is not available when you specify a Windows Vista with SP1 or Windows Server 2008 image for servicing. Help documentation is only available in the Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK) and the OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK).

/Add-Package /PackagePath:<path_to_package_directory>

/ip /m:<path_to_package_directory>

Points to the directory that contains an expanded cabinet (.cab) file and installs the package in the image.

Example:

Dism /image:C:\test\offline /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\packages\package1.cab /PackagePath:C:\packages\package2.cab

/Add-Package /PackageName:<name_in_image>

/ip /p:<name_in_image>

Installs one or more specified packages. The package name is case sensitive.

Example:

Dism /image:C:\test\offline /Add-Package /PackageName:Microsoft.Windows.Calc.Demo~6595b6144ccf1df~x86~en~1.0.0.0 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-MediaPlayer-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.6801.0

/Remove-Package /PackagePath:<path_to_package_directory>

/up /m:<path_to_package_directory >

Points to the original source of the package and removes the package from the image.

Example:

Dism /image:C:\test\offline /Remove-Package /PackagePath:C:\packages\package.cab

/Remove-Package /PackageName:<name_in_image>

/up /p:<package_name>

Removes one or more specified packages. The package name is case sensitive.

Example:

Dism /image:C:\test\offline /Remove-Package /PackageName:Microsoft.Windows.Calc.Demo~6595b6144ccf1df~x86~en~1.0.0.0 /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-MediaPlayer-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.6801.0

/PackageName:<name_in_image>

/p:<package_name>

Must be used when you add or remove a package to specify the name of the package. The package name is case sensitive.

/PackagePath:< path_to_package_directory>

/m:< path_to_package_directory>

Must be used to specify the location of the expanded cabinet (.cab) file when you add or remove a package.

/LogPath:<path_to_logfile.log>

l:<path_to_logfile.log>

Specifies the full path and file name to log to. The default logs are located at %WINDIR%\logs\cbs\cbs.log. The Setupact.log file is a full log, and the Setuperr.log file logs only errors. Logging does not work when installing from read-only media, such as a Windows PE CD.

Important

When servicing images with different architectures, you must specify different log file locations for each of the architectures.

Example:

Dism /image:C:\test\offline /LogPath:C:\dismlogs\x86vistasp1.log /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\packages\package.cab 
Dism /image:C:\test\offline /LogPath:C:\dismlogs\x64vistasp1.log /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\packages\package.cab

/Enable-Feature /FeatureName:<name_in_image>

/iu /p:<name_in_image>

Specifies one or more Windows features to enable. Feature names are case sensitive.

Example:

Dism /image:C:\test\offline /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:Hearts /FeatureName:Calc

/Disable-Feature /FeatureName:<name_in_image>

uu:<name_in_image>

Specifies one or more Windows features to disable. Feature names are case sensitive.

Example:

Dism /image:C:\test\offline /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:Hearts /FeatureName:Calc

/Apply-Unattend:<path_to_Unattended.xml>

n:<path_to_Unattended.xml>

Applies an Unattend.xml file to an image. If you are updating device drivers using an unattended answer file (Unattend.xml), you must apply the answer file to an image and specify the settings in the offlineServicing configuration pass.

Examples:

Dism /image:C:\test\offline /Apply-Unattend:C:\test\answerfiles\myunattend.xml
Dism /online /Apply-Unattend:C:\test\answerfiles\myunattend.xml

/NoRestart

/NoRestart

Suppresses reboot. If a reboot is not necessary, then this command does nothing. This option will keep the application from prompting for a restart (or keep it from restarting automatically if the /quiet option is used).

Example:

Dism /online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\packages\package.cab /NoRestart /quiet

/image:<path_to_mounted_image_directory> /WinDir:<path_to_windows_directory>

o:<path_to_mounted_image_directory>;<path_to_windows_directory>

This is the full path to the root directory of the mounted Windows image. If the Windows directory is not a subdirectory of the root directory, /WinDir must be specified.

Example:

Dism /image:C:\test\offline /WinDir:WinNT /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\packages\package.cab

/quiet

/quiet

Turns off information and progress output to the console. Only error messages will be displayed. This option must be set every time the command line utility is run.

Example:

Dism /image:C:\test\offline /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\packages\package.cab  /quiet

/ScratchDir:<path_to_scratch_directory>

s:<sandbox_directory>

Specifies a scratch directory to be used when extracting files for temporary use during servicing. The directory must exist locally. If not specified, the \Windows\Temp directory will be used.

Example:

Dism /image:C:\test\offline /ScratchDir:C:\Scratch  /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\packages\package.cab
