Hi folks
I'd suggest some decent Tut on CLI. Especially for "Tinkerers" etc -- there's really no reason for people to be scared of using the CLI.

For a decently "English like" programming language very well suited to modern developments like A.I and robotics I'd suggest also people have a look at python. (Also does OO too).

Cheers

Here is script I promised - easy to customise - read REMs.

It shows the things I do a lot with Dism

@Superfly if you can pull this off and it supports everything DISM does in the console, I would most likely use the GUI tool.

Some people hate the console. It just does not click for them and rather use a GUI. I think this tool would be very useful for many. Also helps making less mistakes. It is so easy to do a typo in the console.

This is the whole DISM help:

  /Capture-CustomImage    - Captures customizations into a delta WIM file on a

                            subfolders and data.
  /Get-WIMBootEntry       - Displays WIMBoot configuration entries for the
                            specified disk volume.
  /Update-WIMBootEntry    - Updates WIMBoot configuration entry for the

  /List-Image             - Displays a list of the files and folders in a
                            specified image.
  /Delete-Image           - Deletes the specified volume image from a WIM file
                            that has multiple volume images.
  /Export-Image           - Exports a copy of the specified image to another
                            file.

To get an Idea for Driver Injection & MS Update Packages > https://www.tenforums.com/attachmen...build-your-own-rescue-media-2-a-image-prep.7z

When preparing the Windows OS Image - I also integrate the Drivers into WinRE - thus if you have "touch" it will work in the recovery environment

And for Deployment >

jbcarreon123 · Aug 3, 2021

I thought on an another idea. Automatically add all the drivers in your system on the media.

Yup, it's in there... Image Prep..
