NAME Expand-WindowsCustomDataImage
SYNOPSIS
Expands a custom data image.
SYNTAX
Expand-WindowsCustomDataImage [-LogLevel {Errors | Warnings | WarningsInfo}] [-LogPath <String>] [-ScratchDirectory <String>] -CustomDataImage
<String> -ImagePath <String> -SingleInstance [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Expand-WindowsCustomDataImage cmdlet expands a custom data image. Single instance files apply to the operating system partition that is
contained in a custom data image in the recovery folder on the device.
PARAMETERS
-CustomDataImage <String>
Specifies the custom data of a Windows image captured in a WIM container.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ImagePath <String>
Specifies the location of a WIM file.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-LogLevel [<LogLevel>]
Specifies the maximum output level shown in the logs. The default log level is 3. The accepted values are as follows:
1 = Errors only
2 = Errors and warnings
3 = Errors, warnings, and information
4 = All of the information listed previously, plus debug output
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-LogPath [<String>]
Specifies the full path and file name to log to. If not set, the default is %WINDIR%\\Logs\\Dism\\dism.log.
In Windows PE, the default directory is the RAMDISK scratch space which can be as low as 32 MB. The log file will automatically be archived.
The archived log file will be saved with .bak appended to the file name and a new log file will be generated. Each time the log file is
archived the .bak file will be overwritten.
When using a network share that is not joined to a domain, use the net use command together with domain credentials to set access permissions
before you set the log path for the DISM log.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ScratchDirectory [<String>]
Specifies a temporary directory that will be used when extracting files for use during servicing. The directory must exist locally. If not
specified, the \\Windows\\%Temp% directory will be used, with a subdirectory name of a randomly generated hexadecimal value for each run of
DISM. Items in the scratch directory are deleted after each operation.
You should not use a network share location as a scratch directory to expand a package (.cab or .msu file) for installation. The directory
used for extracting files for temporary usage during servicing should be a local directory.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SingleInstance <SwitchParameter>
Indicates that this cmdlet changes the custom data files applied on the operating system partition to file pointers backed up by the file
payloads in the custom data image.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
INPUTS
System.String[], Microsoft.Dism.Commands.ImageObject, Microsoft.Dism.Commands.ImageObjectWithState
OUTPUTS
Microsoft.Dism.Commands.OfflineImageObject
Example 1: Expand a custom data image
PS C:\\>Expand-WindowsCustomDataImage -CustomDataImage "C:\\oem.ppkg" -ImagePath "C:\\" -SingleInstance
This command expands the custom data image C:\\oem.ppkg to the specified image path. This command specifies the SingleInstance parameter.
