I am using the Dism.exe to check the IIS /widdows feature is enable or disable. but on Windows sever 2008 32 bit Spanish( Ent) dism.exe is not available. Do we need to install some MS updates or DISM utility is availabe with specific edition of WS 2008. 

Hi,

 

Unfortunately, dism is only available with Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2, not Windows Server 2008.

Hi Vincent,

I am using DISM to install/check IIS features, Is there is any fix for WS2008 (32bit) if i want to continue using DISM on WS 2008 (32 bit) ?

Any MS updates are there to use DISM on Ws2008 32 bit , It is available on windows 7 32 bit so can it be used with 2008 ?

In msdn link(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744256(WS.10).aspx) it is mentioned that It can be used to service Windows Vista® with Service Pack 1 (SP1), Windows Server® 2008, Windows® 7, Windows Server® 2008 R2, or Windows PE images.

Does this mean it can be used on 2008 as well ?

 

Thanks

Saurabh

Hi,

 

It can be used to service Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 (SP1), Windows Server 2008.

 

>> You cannot install DISM on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 and use it, but you can use DISM to deploy the them.

 

For more information, you can refer to:
