**What is DISM?**The Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool is a command-line utility built into Windows that allows users to service and manage Windows images. It is primarily used to repair and maintain Windows installations by checking for and fixing corrupted system files and features. DISM can work with various image formats, including .wim, .vhd, and .vhdx, and is essential for managing Windows PE, Windows Recovery Environment, and Windows Setup images134.

Key Features of DISM

  • Repairing Windows Images: DISM can scan and repair corrupted system files and features, often in conjunction with the System File Checker (SFC) tool12.
  • Image Management: It allows users to mount, unmount, capture, and manage Windows images, which is useful for deploying and updating Windows installations34.
  • Driver and Feature Management: DISM can add or remove drivers and Windows features from images, making it a versatile tool for system administrators37.
  • Offline and Online Operations: DISM can operate on both offline images and the currently running operating system, providing flexibility in maintenance tasks7.

Common DISM Commands

  1. CheckHealth: Quickly checks if the local Windows image has any corruptions without performing repairs.
