I have WIM files in Windows Deployment Services with various images for computers. Unfortunately, I'm not using MDT or system center or anything automated to create these images - just installed on a computer, customized, syspreped and captured an image. One day I'll improve that process, but not today.

Using DISM I can add drivers and files and such. But what I really need to one of them is remove a windows service that is causing problems. I'd love to be able to do it without going through sysprepping and recapturing the image.

On a live windows install, I'd just run "sc delete servicename". Is there way I can do the equivalent on a mounted WIM image?

  • dism supports removing roles i think, its been awhile since I've used dism. If not you can mount the wim then regedit the service entry.

I'd mount the wim file via dism then use regedit to load the system key then remove the service.

  • I second that, it should work. You can edit the registry of wim files.
