A Windows 11 desktop computer experiences severe system corruption. A technician runs System File Checker (`sfc /scannow`), but the process fails with an error stating that corrupt files were found but could not be repaired. Next, the technician attempts to execute `dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth`, but the operation fails with error code `0x800f081f`, indicating that the repair source files could not be located because internet access is disabled and the local Side-by-Side (WinSxS) component store is damaged. The technician mounts a verified Windows 11 installation ISO assigned to drive letter `E:`. Which of the following commands must the technician execute to repair the local component store from the mounted ISO while preventing DISM from attempting to access online update servers?

A laboratory systems specialist is troubleshooting a Windows 11 workstation that experiences recurring system crashes following an ungraceful power loss during a feature update.

A field support engineer must access the graphical user interface (GUI) of a remote Linux diagnostic server located at a branch office. The server runs a standard Virtual Network Computing (VNC) service configured to listen on its default port. Corporate security policy prohibits transmitting cleartext management traffic over the public internet and explicitly blocks inbound traffic on TCP port 5900 at the perimeter firewall.

System File Checker (`sfc /scannow`) completes with an error stating that Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them because the local Component Store (WinSxS) is corrupted. The workstation is connected to an internal network with access to a shared repository containing an offline Windows installation file at `\\deploy\share\install.wim`, but it does not have public internet access to reach Windows Update. Which of the following DISM commands should the specialist run first to repair the component store using the internal repository?
