I was wondering what experiences (or how to get started) with configuring features and roles (some of which may require reboot) on Windows 2008R2 (and other versions) that others might have had.
Manually, I have experimented with DISM and ServerManagerCmd.exe on Win2k8r2. I found DISM to be quite dismal as it doesn't do any dependency resolution, so it can install partial orphaned components, and it's multi-line record format is hard to parse. I found out that ServerManagerCmd supports the full dependencies, such that if you install a component in the hierarchy, it will install all the prereqs. Also, if there are any cross dependencies, it will resolve those as well, and install everything that you would install from the GUI. And when you print out what is installed, it presents it in a checklist tree format that matches the GUI and behavior of Windows. A good scenario is to install ASP.NET, which will require IIS7, and have some requirements of features in other areas. What I would like to have ideally is to have this behavior supported somehow, which would be ala RPM-like on Windows.
