Can't convert from Server Core to GUI

RedGaiter

Hi guys. I'm practicing cmdlets, and I was successfully able to convert from the GUI to server core, but I can't reverse the process.

Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra,Server-Gui-Shell -Restart brings up an error saying "Install-WindowsFeature is not recognized..."

Anybody know how to fix this?

Did you try specifying the path with -Source?

Silly question, but what version of Server are you using? 2008? 2008 R2? 2012? etc...

the reason why I ask, if it's not 2012, then you have to use

Add-WindowsFeature

and not Install-WindowsFeature

netsysllc

Assuming your using Server 2012 try this first 'Import-Module ServerManager'. 2008/2008R2 cannot be converted, a full install is required.

Like Dyasis says there's like two versions of the command, and the older one is Add-WindowsFeature

Also if the module is not imported that could be the problem, let us know what ends up fixing it for you

Here's some more info on that cmdlet

Install-WindowsFeature

I'm running 2012 R2

RomBUS

+1 on the import of the Server Manager cmdlets
