You need to know the internal feature names, to get these, run: Get-WindowsOptionalFeature –Online | ? FeatureName -match "msmq" | select FeatureName you get something like this: FeatureName ----------- MSMQ-Container MSMQ-Server MSMQ-Triggers MSMQ-ADIntegration MSMQ-HTTP MSMQ-Multicast MSMQ-DCOMProxy WCF-MSMQ-Activation45 Now you can install the features you like: Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName MSMQ-HTTP Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName MSMQ-Server ... Some features have dependencies on other features, to solve them, add the -All switch, which installs any dependencies automatically.
