Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) mounts a Windows image (.wim) file or virtual hard disk (.vhd or .vhdx) for servicing. You can also use the DISM image management command to list the image index numbers, to verify the architecture for the image that you are mounting, append an image, apply an image, capture an image and delete an image. As you can see from the error message below, this is not actually an error as it says the file has been mounted for read/write access already. See the following guides for articles relating to WDS “how to install Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol on Windows Server 2019″, and “how to configure Post-deployment of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol“.
