PowerShell Add-WindowsFeature
I always try to remember the PowerShell command for installing Roles and Features in Windows 2008 R2 Server, but I always easily forget.
What I always know is the Import-Module ServerManager.
If you want to do installing features using PowerShell for fastest installation, use Get-WindowsFeature. It will help you to use the short name.
For example:
1. Open PowerShell and typing Import-Module ServerManager
2. Then, type Get-WindowsFeature and the result looks like below:
3. The [X] on the left hand side, means that the service is already installed in your system.
4. To install some of the features, let'say "XPS Viewer", you need to use Add-WindowsFeature followed with the Name.
For Example, type Add-WindowsFeature -XPS-Viewer
5. After hitting the command above, the result will be shown whether the features successfully installed or not.
The status looks like below
