Error importing Windows 10 image (.iso) containing install.wim in .esd format

Problem description
If you are unsuccessful in importing a Windows 10 .iso file in the image library from the BigFix console, and in therbagent.trc in %USERPROFILE/OSDeployment) the following message is logged:
ISOFS:Unknown Volume identifier: -ESD_ISO.
This error is due to a particular Windows 10 .iso file that contains the install.wim in a compressed .esd format that is not currently recognized by BigFix.
Solution/workaround
To bypass this problem, complete the following steps:
  1. Unzip the .iso in a directory using the 7-zip utility, locate the install.wim or install.esd (in the source path) and copy it into a new directory, for example C:\mywim
  2. From the WADK10 directory, run the following command:
    dism.exe /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\mywim\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\mywim\install2.wim
     /compress:max
    or
    dism.exe /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\mywim\install.esd /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\mywim\install.wim 
    /compress:max

    In C:\mywim you now have another .wim file (install2.wim or install.wim)

  3. Verify that the "new" .wim cab be mounted by running the following command:
    Dism / Mount-wim /wimfile:c:\mywim\install2.wim /index:1 /MountDir:c:\dir /readonly
    or
    Dism / Mount-wim /wimfile:c:\mywim\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:c:\dir /readonly
  4. When you have verified that the image can be mounted successfully, in the directory you used in step 1, replace the original install.wim or install.esd in the source path with the new one. You must keep the name install.wim.
  5. Import the image from the BigFix console by selecting the option Installation Media Folder (from .iso) and specify the same folder where you had unzipped the .iso in step 1.
