DESCRIPTION

The Dismount-DiskImage cmdlet dismounts a disk image (virtual hard disk or ISO) so that it can no longer be

accessed as a disk. This cmdlet requires either the full image path of the ISO or VHD file, or the device path. To eject a VHD file, administrator privilege is required. Administrator privilege is not needed to eject an ISO file on Windowsr 8. On Windows Serverr 2012, only an administrator is allowed to mount or eject ISO file.
