Install-WindowsFeature -Installs one or more Windows Server roles, role services, or features on

Add-WindowsFeature(2008) and Install-WindowFeature(2012) are equivalent.

So is the answer A or B?

B. It’s a bit strange, since other questions on this give you incorrect answer for Server 2008 cmdlets. But here it’s totally fine.

I would go with A

B is 2008 Install-WindowsFeature replaced it in 2012. At least that is the way I understand it.

I read from somewhere even the add windowsfeature cmdlet is a 2008 command, it is usable in 2012 as well and not actually been replaced

Shawn

Like what Nikita say add-WindowsFeature(2008) and Install-WindowFeature(2012) are equivalent

Reason I lean with A was for the reason I stated…..thinking it is a trick from MS.

Doing more reading and talking with others….if faced with this question on Wed (taking exam then) I would go with B

after reading a bit I would have to go for A, in fact I think there was a similar question to this somewhere and the answer was dism.exe

There are a couple of ways to install the GUI from the command prompt, although both use the same tool – DISM (Deployment Image Service Manager). When you are doing it for a single (local) server, the command is:

Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:ServerCore-FullServer /featurename:Server-Gui-Shell /featurename:Server-Gui-Mgmt

While the Dism tool works fine, one of the features that will make you want Windows Server 2012 on all of your servers now is the ability to manage them remotely, and script a lot of the jobs. For that Windows PowerShell is your friend. The script in PowerShell would be nearly as simple:

Import-Module Dism
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature –online -Featurename ServerCore-FullServer,Server-Gui-Shell,Server-Gui-Mgmt
It takes a few minutes, but once you are done you can reboot and presto, you have the full GUI environment.

It’s A because B has been replace for Install-WindowsFeature in Server 2012.
