Enable NTVDM

We were recently asked to enable NTVDM on a number of Windows devices in our corporate environment for our firmware engineers.

Due to the amount of devices that we needed to get this enabled on, we wanted to be able to push it out through either Group Policy or System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM).

So to do this, we used a very simple command using dism to enable it. You can then either use a task sequence command line or configuration item in SCCM or push it out through a Group Policy script or batch file.

The commands to use to enable or disable NTVDM are below:

To enable the Feature type:

dism /online /enable-feature /all /featurename:NTVDM

To disable the Feature type:

dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:NTVDM

Once you have pushed this out in the manner you wish to use, you should then see that NTVDM is now enabled on the end users Windows device.
