Bitlocker and BIOS updates

You are using Bitlocker on your Win7 machine and want to update the BIOS....

SUSPEND BitLocker BEFORE updating BIOS...

But.. you forgot to suspend Bitlocker before the BIOS update
and now you are stucked with BitLocker requiring key at every startup...

Well... go to BitLocker and suspend it...
and then resume it
- and the problem is fixed :-)

DISM works - injecting drivers into wim files

I have a WDS server with some images.
And sometimes one have to update images with new drivers,
and here is how I do it, using DISM:

Wim info:

Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:f:\remoteinstall\boot\x86\images\boot.wim
Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:f:\remoteinstall\boot\x86\images\boot.wim /index:2

Mount Win:
Dism  /Mount-Wim /Wimfile:f:\remoteinstall\boot\x86\images\boot.wim /index:2 /MountDir:f:\mount

Add Drivers:
just one:
Dism /image:f:\mount /add-driver /driver:f:\ibm_drivers\mr
a whole library:
Dism /image:f:\mount /add-driver /driver:f:\ibm_drivers /recurse


Unmount wim and commit:
Dism /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:f:\mount /commit
