Start /w Ocsetup RolePackage
DHCP = DHCPServerCore
DNS = DNS-Server-Core-Role
File Server = File-Server-Core-Role
File Replication service = FRS-Infrastructure
Distributed File System service = DFSN-Server
Distributed File System Replication = DFSR-Infrastructure-ServerEdition
Network File System = ServerForNFS-Base
Media Server = MediaServer
But if its — Active Directory
Dcpromo /unattend:Unattendfile
Dcpromo now installs Active Directory
Ocsetup not supported for Active Directory
How you uninstall Role ?
Start /w Ocsetup Package /uninstall
Except for Active Directory
