The Get-WindowsFeature cmdlet gets information about features that are both available for installation and already installed on a computer that is running Windows Server or an offline virtual hard disk (VHD) that is running Windows Server.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

Get-WindowsFeature -ComputerName Server1 -Credential contoso.com\user1

This example gets a list of features that are available and installed on the target computer named Server1. The credentials for user1 in the Contoso.com domain, a user who has Administrator rights on Server1, are provided.

Example 2

Get-WindowsFeature -Vhd D:\ps-test\vhd1.vhd

This example returns a list of features that are available and installed on the specified offline VHD located at D:\ps-test\vhd1.vhd.

Example 3

Get-WindowsFeature -Name AD*, Web*

This example returns a list of available and installed features that have a command ID starting with AD or Web.

Example 4

Get-WindowsFeature -ComputerName Server01 | Where Installed

This example returns a list of features installed on a specified server, Server01.

Example 5

Get-WindowsFeature -ComputerName Server01 | Where InstallState -Eq Removed

This example returns a list of features on a specified server, Server01, that have installation files removed from the local side-by-side store and require an external file source for installation.

PARAMETERS

-ComputerName

Gets the list of available features from the specified remote computer that is running Windows Server. The parameter accepts only one computer name. If this parameter is not added, or no computer name is specified, the default target is the local computer. Valid values for the parameter include a NetBIOS name, an IP address, or a fully qualified domain name of a remote computer.

To use a remote computer's IP address as the value of this parameter, your command must include the Credential parameter. The computer must either be configured for HTTPS transport, or the IP address of the remote computer must be included in the WinRM TrustedHosts list on the local computer. For information about adding a computer name to the WinRM TrustedHosts list, see "How to Add a Computer to the Trusted Host List" in about_Remote_Troubleshooting.

Type: System.String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: Cn

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False

-Credential

Specifies a user account that has access rights to perform this action. If the parameter is not added, or no value is specified, the default value of this parameter is the current user. Enter a user name in one of the following formats. Quotation marks are optional.

-- "UserName" -- "Domain\User" -- "User@Domain.com"

If a user name is entered, then a prompt for a password is displayed.

-Vhd

Specifies the path to an offline VHD. The path can either point to a VHD file, or to a location on which the VHD is already mounted by using Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tools.

The VHD can be on a local disk on the target computer or on a network shared folder. If the VHD is in a network shared folder, then the value of this parameter is a UNC path to the VHD. In this case, the computer account of the computer that you are using to mount the VHD must have read and write permissions (Read/Write permissions in the File Sharing dialog box or Full Control on the Security tab of the folder Properties dialog box) on the shared folder or the VHD will not be accessible. Local loopback UNC paths are not supported. Use either of the following formats for the computer account: DOMAIN\SERVERNAME$ or SERVERNAME$.

Add the ComputerName parameter to specify the target computer you want to use to mount the VHD. If the ComputerName parameter is not specified, then the local computer is used. The computer that you are using to mount the VHD must be running Windows Server. Any local path, such as D:\myFolder, that is specified by using this parameter is always relative to the target computer.
