A. The DISM tool is a great way to manipulate offline images and online OSs. Using the command
dism /online /get-features
you can get a list of all the features that are available in the OS and their installation status. Your output will look like this:
Deployment Image Servicing and Management toolVersion: 6.1.7600.16385Image Version: 6.1.7600.16385Features listing for package : Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7600.16385Feature Name : OEMHelpCustomizationState : DisabledFeature Name : CorporationHelpCustomizationState : DisabledFeature Name : BitLockerState : EnabledFeature Name : MicrosoftWindowsPowerShellISEState : Enabled
You can use the Feature Name values to actually enable and disable features.
