I am trying to find a way to start the Add Roles and Features Wizard using a command, much how you can open Windows Features by typing optionalfeatures on Windows 7 and above. I want to create a shortcut to jump straight to the Wizard without having to open Server Manager first and then navigate to it via the menu. As the wizard is part of servermanager.exe (i.e. a Server Manager sub-process), I am assuming there may be a switch that can be passed to it, but I have not been able to find this. Does anyone know how to do this?

    As you already said it's part of ServerManager apparently so you'd have to start him anyway. You could use dism, sconfig or the PowerShell (Add-WindowsFeature etc.) if you want to avoid it. Don't forget that you could actually manage other servers with the current server manager as well.

  • Sure, but the goal here is to jump straight to the Add Roles and Features Wizard, bypassing the menu to get to it. Surely there has to be a way to do this, as if you open appwiz.cpl and then click Turn Windows features on and off, it starts Server Manager and opens the Wizard directly. Oct 18, 2016 at 12:31

You can get directly to it, but it does still launch server manager:

ServerManager.exe -arw
