On servers, PowerShell can install Windows features with the cmdlet Install-WindowsFeature.
When you save the result emitted by Install-WindowsFeature to a variable, you can view the install state after the change using Get-WindowsFeature:
# install features on server and save result in $result Install-WindowsFeature -Name AD-Domain-Services, DNS -IncludeManagementTools -OutVariable result -Verbose # view the result of your change Get-WindowsFeature -Name $result.FeatureResult.Name
