I would like to develop a powershell script to select a bunch of these Server features and Roles to be repeatable as many of the servers I work with need the same settings selected pre-setup. I am having difficulty finding these in RegEdit. Could someone point me in the right direction of where these Roles reside? I'm thinking I may not be looking in the right location.
CodePudding user response：
this can be easily done with powershell using the command Get-WindowsFeature
PS C:\> Get-WindowsFeature | where installed

and to install it to another machine, you just need to pipe the result to Install-WindowsFeature with property ComputerName
Get-WindowsFeature | where installed | Install-WindowsFeature -ComputerName $computername
Another option is install the windows features using ConfigurationFilePath
PS> $servers = ('server1', 'server2')
PS> foreach ($server in $servers) {Install-WindowsFeature -ConfigurationFilePath D:\ConfigurationFiles\ADCSConfigFile.xml -ComputerName $server}
The configuration file was created by clicking Export configuration settings on the Confirm installation selections page of the Add Roles and Feature Wizard in Server Manager. On the first line, the value of the $servers variable is set; on the second line, the installation instructions in the ADCSConfigFile.xml configuration file are applied to each of the servers that has been named in $servers.
