DSC WindowsOptionalFeature Resource

Applies To: Windows PowerShell 5.0

The WindowsOptionalFeature resource in Windows PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) provides a mechanism to ensure that optional features are enabled on a target node.

Syntax

WindowsOptionalFeature [string] #ResourceName
{
    Name = [string]
    [ Ensure = [string] { Absent | Present }  ]
    [ Source = [string] ]
    [ NoWindowsUpdateCheck = [bool] ]
    [ RemoveFilesOnDisable = [bool] ]
    [ LogLevel = [string] { ErrorsOnly | ErrorsAndWarning | ErrorsAndWarningAndInformation }  ]
    [ LogPath = [string] ]
    [ DependsOn = [string[]] ]
    
}

Properties

Property Description
Name Indicates the name of the feature that you want to ensure is enabled or disabled.
Ensure Specifies whether the feature is enabled. To ensure that the feature is enabled, set this property to "Present" To ensure that the feature is disabled, set the property to "Absent".
Source Not implemented.
NoWindowsUpdateCheck Specifies whether DISM contacts Windows Update (WU) when searching for the source files to enable a feature. If $true, DISM does not contact WU.
RemoveFilesOnDisable Set to $true to remove all files associated with the feature when it is disabled (that is, when Ensure is set to "Absent").
LogLevel The maximum output level shown in the logs. The accepted values are: "ErrorsOnly" (only errors are logged), "ErrorsAndWarning" (errors and warnings are logged), and "ErrorsAndWarningAndInformation" (errors, warnings, and debug information are logged).
LogPath The path to a log file where you want the resource provider to log the operation.
DependsOn Specifies that the configuration of another resource must run before this resource is configured. For example, if the ID of the resource configuration script block that you want to run first is ResourceName and its type is ResourceType, the syntax for using this property is DependsOn = "[ResourceType]ResourceName".
