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?

You can get directly to it, but it does still launch server manager:
ServerManager.exe -arw
ServerManager
apparently so you'd have to start him anyway. You could usedism
,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.appwiz.cpl
and then clickTurn Windows features on and off
, it starts Server Manager and opens the Wizard directly.
