Compacting a wim file?

Actually it turns out the answer is the dism that comes with Win8. Using the new Export-Image command, and a simple batch file, was able to compress my AIO wim by several hundred mbs.

 

Current DISM commands as The DISM /ScanHealth, /CheckHealth, and /RestoreHealth are no longer valid.

Not finding the current syntax of this above command to apply to Windows 10 version I am using.

Current version of Windows 10 -

Version 1703 - > os build 15063.608

Windows 10 Professional

How to get damn DISM to work?

Thx guys, I'll compress this data into a blog post. For all the so called guides I've read, not a single one mentioned it has to be WIM file (some listed even ESD which clearly doesn't work) or that certain ISO images don't work with DISM.

After I've done DISM thingie, SFC also managed to repair stuff. Which is what I've needed here.
