Powershell - install-windowsfeature - name

Question

When inputting in powershell the following:

install-windowsfeature -name

How do I get a list of available features to install?

On what system are these commands available? I have PowerShell 5.1 and Get-Command *windows* shows no PowerShell commands. — lit

For this you would want to use another cmdlet. Get-WindowsFeature

Gets information about Windows Server roles, role services, and features that are available for installation and installed on a specified server.

That solved my problem. Doing that, I see the list now of windows features, and was able to run install-windowsfeature -name NPAS
