Check for installed roles via registry

Is there a way to check what server roles and features are installed on windows server 2008 by checking for a specific registry key?

Hi,

check out:
ServerManagerCmd.exe -query

This will result in an output listing all installed roles

Hi,

Thanks, I am aware of this option but am looking for alternative methods. The reason I asking is because we need to be able to scan our servers with compliance scanning tool to determine what roles and features are installed. By scanning for registry keys to determine what's installed make it simpler to implement.

Hi,

Even I am looking out for detecting installed serve roles, please let me know through this thread if you get any solution or workaround for this.

I am also looking out for APIs if any which could detect the roles installed.

Thanks

HI,

The Win32_ServerFeature class represents the features installed on a computer running the Windows Server 2008 or later server operating system. This class can be used by developers and administrators who need to automate the process of determining the features installed on a set of server computers. Instances of this class are not available on client computers.'

Win32_ServerFeature Class (Windows)
