DESCRIPTION

The Get-DiskImage cmdlet gets the objects associated with one or more disk images (virtual hard disk or ISO). This cmdlet requires either the full image

path of the ISO or VHD file, or the device path.



This cmdlet reports whether the specified ISO or VHD file is currently attached.





PARAMETERS

-CimSession [<CimSession[]>]

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or

Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
