DISM can be used to service VHD/VHDX’s, WIM’s and Online images (live OS). DISM lets you enumerate drivers and packages, modify configuration settings, add and remove drivers, add Windows features and more. It comes as part of your OS and is accessible from a PowerShell or Command Prompt window. The Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool is very powerful.
