Quick Tip: Install Windows Features with PowerShell in bulk
Using my current favourite PowerShell feature, Out-GridView, we can easily and quickly install windows features with a little gui..
The command:
Get-WindowsFeature | Out-GridView –passthru | Install-WindowsFeature
You will get an ogv window with the ability to select items to ‘passthru’
Select a single or multiple item (via ctrl + click) and hit OK.
When done, all your new features will be installed.
Note: be careful with this when selecting the various roles & features. If a role requires source files or additional configuration this doesn’t do this for you.. I typically just use this when wanting to install multiple RSAT features…
Enjoy!
