Detailed Description

The Add-WindowsFeature cmdlet allows you to install specified roles, role services, and features on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2. The Add-WindowsFeature cmdlet functions similarly to the Add Roles Wizard and Add Features Wizard that you can start from the Server Manager UI. As in those wizards, you can add more than one role, role service, or feature per session, and all roles, role services, or features that are required by those Windows features you want to install are added automatically. You can find a list of command IDs for all roles, role services, and features in the topic Overview of Server Manager Commands in the Server Manager Help.

Parameters

Name

Specifies the command IDs of roles, role services, or features you want to install by using the Add-WindowsFeature cmdlet. Alternatively, an array of Feature objects will also be accepted. You can find a list of command IDs for all roles, role services, and features in the topic Overview of Server Manager Commands in the Server Manager Help.

Concurrent

Allows concurrent instances of the Server Manager Add-WindowsFeature or Remove-WindowsFeature cmdlets to be running at the same time. Do not add this parameter unless you are installing roles, role services, or features that are downloaded separately from Windows Server 2008 R2, and you want to install Windows features on which the downloaded technology depends at the same time. The use of this switch is not recommended. This switch is intended for out-of-band feature(s) to install their dependencies.
