Install Gui on Windows 2012 R2

Installed the wim on the vhd and booted into Windows 2012 no issues. 
When I logged in noticed that the GUI was not active.  This was a new
one for me since I have just started working with 2012.  Found this
helpful tip.

1. At the prompt type: powershell
2. Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra
Wait for it to install
3.shutdown -r -t 0

Now when you reboot you will have the GUI!
