This is probably an easy one (and probably answered many times)...can I get Deploy to turn on a Windows Feature in Windows 10?  If so, what are the steps?

Specifically, I need a package that will enable .Net 3.5 on some Windows 10 machines.

  Powershell Step:

  Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name NetFx3~~~~

  Yes, the tildes are required.

  Meh, don't do that. Doesn't work as intended I'm finding. Might need to go the DISM route. BRB, testing.

  Thanks...I found a Package in the Package Library that worked for .Net 3.5.

  Bingo. 

  DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /Source:C:\temp\microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package.cab

  In my testing I had to use a source file. So you could use a Copy Step to copy over the microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package.cab file from your installation media's Sources/SXS folder.

  Powershell step to run the code above. 

  Second Powershell step to cleanup the file copied previous:

  Remove-Item C:\temp\microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package.cab -Force
