No, the provided solution does not meet the goal.

The Get-WUInstall cmdlet is used to install Windows updates on a system. However, it is not a suitable solution to enable missing features in Microsoft Teams. The missing features in Teams could be due to several reasons, such as an outdated version of Teams or a misconfiguration in the Teams upgrade policy.

To ensure that the VDI solution users can use the new Microsoft Teams features, you need to perform the following steps:

  1. Check the version of Microsoft Teams installed on the VDI solution. You can do this by opening Teams and clicking on your profile picture, then selecting "About". If the version is outdated, you should update it to the latest version.

  2. Check the Teams upgrade policy in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Ensure that the upgrade policy is set to Teams only mode, which enables all new Teams features. If the policy is not set to Teams only mode, you should change it.

  3. If the above steps do not enable the missing features, you should consider reinstalling Teams on the VDI solution. To do this, uninstall the current Teams installation and then install the latest version of Teams using the MSI package. Make sure to specify the correct upgrade policy during the installation.

In summary, running the Get-WUInstall cmdlet with the -AcceptAll parameter does not meet the goal of enabling missing features in Microsoft Teams on the VDI solution. Instead, you need to ensure that the version of Teams is up to date, check the Teams upgrade policy, and reinstall Teams if necessary.
