Use DISM in Windows PowerShell

The Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) cmdlets can be used to perform the same functions as the DISM.exe command-line tool. In many cases, the DISM cmdlet names are similar to their corresponding Dism.exe options and the same arguments can be used. See DISM PowerShell for detailed information about the PowerShell cmdlets.
