salt.states.win_servermanager.installed(name, features=None, recurse=False, restart=False, source=None, exclude=None, **kwargs)

Install the windows feature. To install a single feature, use the name parameter. To install multiple features, use the features parameter.

Note

Some features require reboot after un/installation. If so, until the server is restarted other features can not be installed!

Parameters
  • name (str) --

    Short name of the feature (the right column in win_servermanager.list_available). This can be a single feature or a string of features in a comma delimited list (no spaces)

    Note

    A list is not allowed in the name parameter of any state. Use the features parameter if you want to pass the features as a list

  • features (Optional[list]) --

    A list of features to install. If this is passed it will be used instead of the name parameter.

    New in version 2018.3.0.

  • recurse (Optional[bool]) -- Install all sub-features as well. If the feature is installed but one of its sub-features are not installed set this will install additional sub-features. This argument was previously renamed from force. To ensure backwards compatibility force will continue to work but please update your states to use the preferred recurse arg.

  • source (Optional[str]) -- Path to the source files if missing from the target system. None means that the system will use windows update services to find the required files. Default is None

  • restart (Optional[bool]) -- Restarts the computer when installation is complete, if required by the role/feature installed. Default is False

  • exclude (Optional[str]) --

    The name of the feature to exclude when installing the named feature. This can be a single feature, a string of features in a comma-delimited list (no spaces), or a list of features.

    Warning

    As there is no exclude option for the Add-WindowsFeature or Install-WindowsFeature PowerShell commands the features named in exclude will be installed with other sub-features and will then be removed. If the feature named in ``exclude`` is not a sub-feature of one of the installed items it will still be removed.

Example

Do not use the role or feature names mentioned in the PKGMGR documentation. To get a list of available roles and features run the following command:

salt <minion_name> win_servermanager.list_available

Use the name in the right column of the results.
