# windows_feature
Use the `windows_feature` Chef InSpec audit resource to test features on Windows via the `Get-WindowsFeature` cmdlet.
<br>
## Availability
### Installation
This resource is distributed along with Chef InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
### Version
This resource first became available in v1.0.0 of InSpec.
## Syntax
A `windows_feature` resource block declares the name of the Windows feature, tests if that feature is installed, and then returns information about that feature:
describe windows_feature('feature_name') do
it { should be_installed }
end
where
* `('feature_name')` must specify a Windows feature name, such as `DHCP Server` or `IIS-Webserver`
* `be_installed` is a valid matcher for this resource
<br>
## Examples
The following examples show how to use this Chef InSpec audit resource.
### Test the DHCP feature (Attempts PowerShell then DISM)
describe windows_feature('DHCP') do
it{ should be_installed }
end
### Test the IIS-WebServer feature using DISM
describe windows_feature('IIS-WebServer', DISM) do
it{ should be_installed }
end
### Test the NetFx3 feature using DISM
describe windows_feature('NetFx3', :dism) do
it{ should be_installed }
end
<br>
