Examples

Example 1: Set the app package Application1 as non-removable

PS C:\> Set-NonRemovableAppsPolicy -Online -PackageFamilyName Application1_1.0.0.0+x64__ms7gsqeatfeb6 -NonRemovable 1

This command sets the app package Application1 as non-removable.

Example 2: Set the app package Application1 as removable

PS C:\> Set-NonRemovableAppsPolicy -Online -PackageFamilyName Application1_1.0.0.0+x64__ms7gsqeatfeb6 -NonRemovable 0

This command sets the app package Application1 as removable.

Example 3: Sets the app package Application1 as non-removable on an offline Windows image

PS C:\> Set-NonRemovableAppsPolicy -Path ".\wim\image.wim" -PackageFamilyName Application1_1.0.0.0+x64__ms7gsqeatfeb6 -NonRemovable 1

This command sets the app package Application1 as non-removable on an offline Windows image.

Parameters

-LogLevel

Specifies the maximum output level shown in the logs. The default log level is 3. The accepted values are as follows:

1 = Error
2 = Errors and warnings
3 = Errors, warnings, and information
4 = All of the information listed previously, plus debug output

-LogPath

Specifies the full path and file name to log to. If not set, the default is %WINDIR%\Logs\Dism\dism.log. In Windows PE, the default directory is the RAMDISK scratch space which can be as small as 32MB. The log file will automatically be archived. The archived log file will be saved with .bak appended to the file name and a new log file will be generated. Each time the log file is archived the .bak file will be overwritten. When using a network share that is not joined to a domain, use the net use command together with domain credentials to set access permissions before you set the log path for the DISM log.
