How to Use Otter to Install server Roles?

[cambridgeport90]

We are trying to use Otter's abilities to configure servers to install roles, yet if there are built in operations for doing this, we've not been able to find them. I would imagine that I could use PSCall with enable-windowsoptionalfeature commands, but are there any better ways?

We definitely want to add these as first-class Operations in our Windows extensions, but in the mean time the best route is to use the PSDsc Operation to invoke the Windows Feature DSC Resource

PSDSC WindowsFeature
(
  Name: Web-Server,
  Ensure: present
);

Hope that helps!
