How to install DFS Replication via Powershell

INTRODUCTION

Distributed File System Replication, or DFS Replication, is a role service in Windows Server that enables you to efficiently replicate folders across multiple servers and sites. You can replicate all types of folders, including folders referred to by a DFS namespace path.
