    this is what I use in my toolkit for taking ownership and granting permission for files. this command works for files but if path to the file contains a space like Program Files\Windows Mail\<filename>.exe then it won't work, you need to navigate to the folder and then us the TakeOwnerShip function.

    will check out the code you have given and see what happens for directories

    Code:
    
::-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:: Function to Take Onwer Ship of Files That Has to be Replaced
:: Input Parameters [%~1 : File Name]
::-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:TakeOwnerShip
takeown /f %~1
icacls %~1 /grant "Everyone":F
goto:eof
::-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Only these updates are enough as KB2919355 is released as a cumulative update which contains all previously released rollups. :rolleyes:

    Becouse for integration of the main one, i prefere the manual way :) So if you already have an up to date install.wim, just update the winre.wim would be usefull ;)

    did some work on this esd2wim conversion, was able to get the esd image index details like name, description, edition and also applying the esd to folder and capture back the folder to wim image worked well, the only problem is when I tried to capture the folder to wim with a wim image description e.g "Windows 8.1 Pro WMC" the capture command doesn't work but it works with "Windows_8". i.e if there is a space or a . then its giving error. so I think its better to use the imagex for naming the index name and description along with the flag settings.

    Since you need to use imagex, then it's better if you gave any standard one word name when capturing with dism, and later you can change appropiate name and description using imagex
    i.e.
    Code:
    dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:install.wim /CaptureDir:C:\ESD /Name:Windows /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity
imagex /flags "ProfessionalWMC" /info install.wim 1 "Windows 8.1 Pro WMC" "Windows 8.1 Pro WMC"

    Great work MSMG :worthy:

    What kind off boot iso should i choose?

    I have been choosing option 3 "BIOS_UEFI" so that the ISO will work on both types of machines. I had a Server 2012 R2 ISO that I updated with this tool and initially chose "BIOS" as the ISO Type. When trying to boot from that ISO in Hyper-V (2nd Generation) it was not able to do so. Re-imaging and selecting BIOS_UEFI solved the issue.

    VHD would be hands-down the fastest way to delete the applied esd file. It would take a little longer to apply the first time, but you'd save so much time over takeown/icacls in the cleanup phase.
    You could even stick it somewhere generic like %temp%\esdfile.vhd

    You can integrate it or not. It doesn't matter. The fixes included are already present in the 2919355.
    I'm suspecting we may see the end-user version of 2919355 requiring all previous rollups installed before updating to 2919355 next month.
    Whether or not you should include it... I don't know.. It really doesn't matter. If you don't want Windows Update to nag you, include it.
