Define Win32_OptionalFeature Parent Function

History, in 2012-R2, with Powershell v4.0 you have access to a command drive Get-WindowsFeature

that only runs on the server OS. It includes a parent field, which is needed to populate the tree node, since the child nodes are anchored to the parent node.

Get-WindowsFeature | select Name,DisplayName,Installed,Parent

From Windows 7 / 8.1 we can't use the cmdlet, it doesn't run on the desktop OS. Here we can see the same data, but not the parent ID. How do I determine the parent function from WMI? Open any answer that solves the problem.

GWMI Win32_OptionalFeature | select Name,Caption,InstallState

In short, I am trying to generate a .csv dump from the gwmi command that will be used to populate the TreeView control based on the currently installed functionality. Something like this.

Not exactly what you are asking, but microsoft provides a remediation utility to manage additional features. Look at the switch /get-features

and /get-featureinfo

.

Here is an example on how to install RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools)



start-process "powershell" -verb "runas"  -argumentlist "-noprofile -command 
    dism.exe /Online /Enable-Feature 
    /FeatureName:RemoteServerAdministrationTools 
    /FeatureName:RemoteServerAdministrationTools-Roles 
    /FeatureName:RemoteServerAdministrationTools-Roles-AD 
    /FeatureName:RemoteServerAdministrationTools-Roles-AD-Powershell"
