Microsoft took this script off of their website. It's beyond worth mentioning that they have no less than 5 articles referencing this script and its nowhere to be found with zero mention of why or where to find it. As someone who's been wasting the last day and a half trying to get my Windows Features functionality to work properly... I needed this script. Thank you so much for hosting this on github.
