NAME Export-WindowsDriver
SYNOPSIS
Exports all third-party drivers from a Windows image to a destination folder.
SYNTAX
Export-WindowsDriver [-Destination <String>] [-LogLevel {Errors | Warnings | WarningsInfo}] [-LogPath <String>] [-ScratchDirectory <String>]
[-SystemDrive <String>] [-WindowsDirectory <String>] -Online [<CommonParameters>]
Export-WindowsDriver [-Destination <String>] [-LogLevel {Errors | Warnings | WarningsInfo}] [-LogPath <String>] [-ScratchDirectory <String>]
[-SystemDrive <String>] [-WindowsDirectory <String>] -Path <String> [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Export-WindowsDriver cmdlet exports all third-party drivers from a Windows image to a destination folder.
PARAMETERS
-Destination [<String>]
Specifies a directory the exported third-party drivers will be stored.
Required? false
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
-Online <SwitchParameter>
Specifies that the action is to be taken on the operating system that is currently running on the local computer.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Path <String>
Specifies the full path to the root directory of the offline Windows image that you will service. If the directory named Windows is not a
subdirectory of the root directory, -WindowsDirectory must be specified.
Required? true
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
-SystemDrive [<String>]
Specifies the path to the location of the BootMgr files. This is necessary only when the BootMgr files are located on a partition other than
the one that you are running the command from. Use -SystemDrive to service an installed Windows image from a Windows PE environment.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-WindowsDirectory [<String>]
Specifies the path to the Windows directory relative to the image path. This cannot be the full path to the Windows directory; it should be a
relative path. If not specified, the default is the Windows directory in the root of the offline image directory.
Required? false
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

INPUTS
System.String[], Microsoft.Dism.Commands.ImageObject
OUTPUTS
Microsoft.Dism.Commands.AdvancedDriverObject
Example 1: Export drivers from the running operationg system
PS C:\\>Export-WindowsDriver -Online -Destination d:\\drivers
This command exports third-party drivers from the running version of Windows.
Example 2: Export drivers from an offline image
PS C:\\>Export-WindowsDriver -Path c:\\offline-image -Destination d:\\drivers
