WMIC Feature will not enable, despite the requirements being met?

[PerhapsAverage]

Hey all, I'm editing a Windows 11 24H2 IoT Enterprise LTSC ISO, while using 24H2 IoT Enterprise LTSC.
WMIC will not enable on it. When I first encountered this error, I thought "no biggie, I'll just remove the task". When that didn't work I removed the component. I am completely stumped now. Neither show up when I search for them in either tab anymore, and it still shows the same error.

I'm starting to get a bad feeling that NTLite throws this warning whenever you click on WMIC, regardless of what's been changed.

Ah, that's unfortunate. A script that I use in post-setup has to use WMIC to do some things. Is there any command that can enable it without any user interaction?

I don't know about Enterprise LTSC (don't have a copy handy).

But if the default state is disabled, you can run "DISM /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:WMIC~~~~" in Post-Setup (Before logon) right before calling your WMIC script.

This fixed it, thanks!

Do I put this in a batch file :

wmic pagefileset delete
wmic pagefileset create name="T:\\pagefile.sys"
wmic pagefileset where name="T:\\pagefile.sys" set InitialSize=65536,MaximumSize=65536
or directly in before login?

It does keep WMIC enabled on 24H2 LTSC, I bookmarked relevant post. Just disable the task, thats all that is needed.

Wow, well done abbodi86, OOBEFodSetup task was the key.

jlsupremo, removed OOBEFodSetup scheduled task with NTLite (it has the option to remove any task on the Scheduled Tasks page) and WMIC is there after setup, without touching/re-enabling WMIC FoD, leave it on Features page as is.

abbodi86, this should have much less sideeffects than switching to the Upgrade mode?
Don't see any other capability mentioned in the OOBEFodSetup.exe, should be isolated effect for now.

Will also add this as a component split from full OOBE.
