Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit for Windows 8.1:

Step-by-Step: Windows 8 Deployment for IT Professionals
This guide uses the tools included in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK). This
includes Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM), the Deployment Imaging Servicing and
Management tool (DISM), and Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE). In addition to the tools
that this guide describes, other tools are available in the Windows ADK that you can use to prepare your
organization for migrating to Windows 8 and Windows 8.1:

DISM Global Options for Command-Line Syntax
Global options can be added to most of the servicing and imaging options in the Deployment Image Servicing
and Management (DISM) tool. These options can be used to access the command-line help, specify the
location of files to use, and control logging.
Basic Syntax for Servicing Commands
After you have mounted or applied a Windows® image so that it is available offline as a flat file structure, you
can specify any DISM global options, the servicing option that will update your image, and the location of the
offline image. You can use only one servicing option per command line. If you are servicing a running
computer, you can use the /Online option instead of specifying the location of the offline Windows image. The
commands and options that are available for servicing an image depend on which Windows operating system
you are servicing. They also depend on whether the image is offline or a running operating system. All
commands work on an offline Windows image. Subsets of the commands are available for servicing a running
operating system.
The base syntax for DISM servicing commands is:
DISM.exe {/Image:<path_to_image> | /Online} [dism_global_options] {servicing_option}
[<servicing_argument>]

DISM App Package (.appx or .appxbundle) Servicing Command-Line Options
You can use app package-servicing commands to add, remove, and list provisioned app packages (.appx or
.appxbundle) in a Windows image. An .appxbundle, new for Windows 8.1, is a collection of app and resource
packages used together to enrich the app experience, while minimizing the disk footprint on a given PC.
Provisioned app packages are added to a Windows image and are then installed for every new or existing user
profile the next time the user logs on. For more information, including requirements for app package
provisioning, see Sideload Apps with DISM.
You can also use Windows PowerShell to add, remove, and list app packages (.appx or .appxbundle) per image
or per user in a Windows installation.

Sideload Apps with DISMYou can sideload line-of-business (LOB) Windows Store apps to a Windows® image by using Windows
PowerShell® or the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) platform. Windows Store apps are a
new type of application that runs on:
Windows 8.1 devices
Windows 8 devices
Windows Server 2012 R2 devices
Windows Server 2012
Windows Embedded 8 Industry
Typically, Windows Store apps are available only through the Windows® Store. You can submit LOB Windows
Store apps to the Windows Store and make them available outside of your enterprise. However, you can also
develop Windows Store apps for use only within your enterprise and add them to Windows devices you
manage through a process we call sideloading. Sideloaded apps do not have to be certified by or installed
through the Windows Store.

Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit
The Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit (MAP) is an agentless, automated, multi-product planning and
assessment tool for quicker and easier desktop, server and cloud migrations. MAP provides detailed readiness
assessment reports with extensive hardware and software information, and actionable recommendations to
help organizations accelerate their IT infrastructure planning process, and gather more detail on assets that
reside within their current environment. MAP also provides server utilization data for Hyper-V server
virtualization planning; identifying server placements, and performing virtualization candidate assessments.

Before you submit your app for certification and listing in the Windows Store, use the Windows App
Certification
Kit to test your app and make sure it’s ready to go.
