The goal is to automate enabling of IIS on a new Windows Workstation, like Windows 10, for a .NET development environment. I realize that Powershell scripts can be written to do something like this but I don't know where to start.
I realize I could easily go into Control Panel and enable the service there however it seems more efficient to just run a script to do this.
What would an example script look like that would be run in Powershell to enable IIS?

Server OS's
On Windows Server you could run the following command to automate installation of IIS:
#-LogPath can be added if you want a log to be created of the installation
#-Restart can be added if you want to auto restart after installation
Install-WindowsFeature -ComputerName SomePCHere -Name Web-Server
Here are the names of the IIS features from PowerShell's point of view:

Clients OS's
On Windows 8.1+ you can use the Get-WindowsOptionalFeature and Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature to install IIS.
By running the following you can get the names of the IIS features from PowerShell's point of view:
PS C:\> Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -online | Where {$_.FeatureName -like 'IIS*'} | Sort FeatureName | Format-Table

Similar to windows server, you can install the features above by running the following or something similar (you can install multiple features by using a comma to separate the values on the FeatureName parameter :
#you can add -NoRestart to prevent automatic restarting (if required)
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName IIS-Webserver
Hope this Helps!
