Windows management modules

The Windows management modules are installed in different ways, dependent on the Edition of Windows, and how the module was packaged for that Edition.

On Windows Server, use the feature name with the Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet as an Administrator. For example:

Install-WindowsFeature -Name ActiveDirectory

On Windows 10, the Windows management modules are made available as Windows Optional Features or Windows Capabilities. The following commands must be run from an elevated session using Run as administrator.

  • For Windows Optional Features

    To get a list of Optional Features, run the following command:

    Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online
    

    To install the feature:

    Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-Management-PowerShell
    

    For more information see:

  • For Windows Capabilities

    To get a list of Windows Capabilities, run the following command:

    Get-WindowsCapability -online
    

    Notice that the name of the capability package ends with ~~~~0.0.1.0. You must use the full name to install the capability:

    Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.ServerManager.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

Notes

ServerManager module

This module has some minor compatibility issues with formatted output in PowerShell 7. For example, the Get-WindowsFeature cmdlet returns the proper object with all properties, but the default display formatting makes some properties appear to be empty. The actual values are available in the object properties using Select-Object or by direct member access.
