  1. Offline image update of files outside of the install.wim


    When I inject Windows updates into an offline image, that updates the install.wim file, right? in a Windows distribution, there a lot of files besides the WIM. Surely, updates must sometimes be made to those files. Just out of curiosity, how would those updates be distributed by Microsoft?

    I'm only asking out of pure curiosity.

    :)

    Compacting a wim file?

    Sorry, no idea where to put this. I just recently learned how to use dism. I use it to slipstream all hotfixes and ie10 ect into an AIO install disc. The problem is, it creates a huge install.wim after 8 index mounts and slipstreams. Considering all 8 images use the same darn wim and files, don't know why it has to increase the wim size by 1gig. Either I need to figure out how to use the same wim.install file for all indexes, or I need to compact the wim file which is now 4gbs with ie10 and all updates to April. Any way to do either?

    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.

    Windows 10 ServicePack Build Not updating with Cumulative Update for Offline WIM file(s)

    I am applying the Cumulative Update from this page:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4043454/windows-10-windows-server-update-history

    Code:
    I apply the Cumulative Update to the Offline WIM File using DISM.  The update is applied correctly to the Offline WIM file.
    However, using the following Command, I see that something isn't correct:dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:".\install.wim" /index:1
    I get the following:Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    
    Version: 10.0.17134.1

    The operation completed successfully.
    The ServicePack Build number does not properly reflect the ServicePack Level Number.  This does effect SCCM which reads in the ServicePack Build number.  The WIM could be updated but, SCCM won't tell me this because the ServicePack Build number is not changed/updated
     with the Update.
    This does NOT effect Running/Live Windows 10 PCs. This ONLY effects Offline WIM files.
