Does Install-WindowsFeature force a reboot?

PowerShell Help

Will running the below command on a non-dc server force a reboot?:

Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-AD-PowerShell;

 

Or will it just tell me to manually reboot later? Thank you. Trying to test powershell AD info commands on another server

Don’t forget about -whatif

Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-AD-PowerShell -WhatIf
What if: Continue with installation?
What if: Performing installation for "[Remote Server Administration Tools] Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell".
What if: Performing installation for "[Remote Server Administration Tools] AD DS and AD LDS Tools".
What if: The target server may need to be restarted after the installation completes.

On my test server it did not.

Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-AD-PowerShell

If you don’t want it to restart the server you can run it as follows:

Install-WindowsFeature -Name RSAT-AD-Powershell -Restart:$false
