Mount-WindowsImage

Short description
Mounts a Windows image in a WIM or VHD file to a directory on the local computer.

Syntax


Description
The Mount-WindowsImage cmdlet maps a Windows image in a WIM or VHD file to the specified directory so that it is 
accessible for servicing.


The Path parameter specifies the location where you want to mount the Windows image.


The ImagePath parameter specifies the location of the WIM or VHD file containing the Windows image you want to mount.


Use the Index or Name parameter to specify which image in a WIM or VHD file that you want to mount. For a VHD file, 
the Index must be 1.


The Optimize parameter reduces the amount of time it takes to initially mount the image. However, processes that are 
ordinarily performed during a mount will instead be completed the first time that you access a directory. As a result, 
there may be an increase in the time that is required to access a directory for the first time after mounting an image 
using the optimize parameter.


The Remount parameter mounts an image in a WIM or VHD file that was already mounted at the specified Path, but has 
become inaccessible for servicing.


The CheckIntegrity parameter detects and tracks .wim file corruption. CheckIntegrity stops the operation if DISM 
detects that the .wim file is corrupted when used with the Mount-WindowsImage cmdlet.


The CheckIntegrity parameter does not apply to virtual hard disk (VHD) files.
