Examples

1: Add a server feature to a guest OS profile.

The first command gets the guest OS profile object named NewOSProfile01 and stores the object in the $OSProfile variable.

The second command gets the server feature object named Failover-Clustering and stores the object in the $Feature variable.

The last command adds the server feature stored in $Feature (Failover-Clustering) to the guest OS profile stored in $OSProfile (NewOSProfile01).

PS C:\> $OSProfile = Get-SCGuestOSProfile -Name "NewOSProfile01"
PS C:\> $Feature = Get-SCServerFeature -Name "Failover-Clustering"
PS C:\> Add-SCServerFeature -GuestOSProfile $OSProfile -ServerFeature $Feature
