Windows 8 Changing the name and description of the volume images

[balubeto]

Hi

I am using Windows 8.1 Update and Windows ADK.

How do I change the name and description of the volume images stored in a wim file without using the ImageX command?

In other words, if I should change the name and description of 4 volume images contained in a wim file, as I should do to do this without using the ImageX command?

Thanks

Bye

To change the name and description of volume images stored in a WIM file without utilizing the ImageX command, you can achieve this through alternative methods within the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK). One such approach would involve using DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) commands. Here's a general guideline on how you can achieve this: 1. Mount the WIM File: - First, you need to mount the WIM file using DISM to access its contents.

bash dism /mount-wim /wimfile:Path\to\your.wim /index:1 /mountdir:C:\MountPoint /readonly

2. Set the Name and Description: - Once mounted, you can set the name and description of the specific volume images using DISM commands. For example, to set the name and description of a specific image index:

bash dism /image:C:\MountPoint /set-name:"NewName" /set-description:"NewDescription"

3. Commit Changes and Unmount the WIM: - After making the necessary changes, commit the changes and unmount the WIM file:

bash dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C:\MountPoint /commit

4. Verify Changes: - Once you've committed the changes, you can verify that the name and description have been updated by mounting the WIM file again or viewing the properties of the WIM file using DISM. By following these steps, you can effectively change the name and description of volume images stored in a WIM file using DISM commands from the Windows ADK. This process provides an alternative to using the ImageX command for modifying WIM file properties.
