The Export-WindowsImage cmdlet exports a copy of the specified image to another image file. The source and
destination files must use the same compression type.You can also optimize an image by exporting to a new image file with Export-WindowsImage. When you modify an
image, DISM stores additional resource files that increase the overall size of the image. Exporting the image will remove unnecessary resource files. This cmdlet does not apply to virtual hard disk (VHD) files.PARAMETERS
-CheckIntegrity [
] Detects and tracks .wim file corruption when used with the Add-WindowsImage, Dismount-WindowsImage or
Save-WindowsImage cmdlet. CheckIntegrity stops the operation if DISM detects that the .wim file is corrupted
when used with the Expand-WindowsImage or Mount-WindowsImage cmdlet.

Accept wildcard characters? false-DestinationImagePath
Specifies the location of the exported image file. Required? true Position? named Default value noneAccept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false-DestinationName [
Specifies the name of the exported image in the exported image file. Required? false Position? named Default value none] Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false-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 [
] 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 noneAccept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false-ScratchDirectory [
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 noneAccept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false-Setbootable [
Marks a volume image as being a bootable image. This argument is available only for Windows PE images. Only one volume image can be marked as bootable in a .wim file. Required? false Position? named Default value none] Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false-SourceImagePath
Specifies the location of the source image file. Required? true Position? named Default value noneAccept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false-SourceIndex
Specifies the index number of a Windows image in a WIM or VHD file. For a VHD file, the Index must be 1. Required? true Position? named Default value noneAccept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false-SourceName
Specifies the name of the source image in the source image file. Required? true Position? named Default value noneAccept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false-SplitImageFilePattern [
Specifies the location and name of the base split image file. Required? false Position? named Default value none] Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false-WIMBoot [
Specifies that the image will be formatted to install on a Windows image file boot (WIMBoot) system. Required? false Position? named Default value none] Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
