Windows Server 2008R2 or greater
win_servermanager.install
win_servermanager.remove
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!
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.
