Get-SPWebApplication "Web App URL"| Get-SPSite -Limit ALL | % {Enable-SPFeature "Feature GUID" -Url $_.Url} Is my parameter correct?.I am missing anything? – Ayyappan.Anbalagan Apr 24 '12 at 14:01
Seems right. Usually I'd use Feature foldername but Guid is OK – Per Jakobsen Apr 24 '12 at 14:29

small tip: use a GUID instead 'name' - it's more precise and less prone to error if there are similar feature names.. – SB Chatterjee Apr 24 '12 at 17:59
Name is a lot easier to read and as it ALWAYS are something like Company.Product.Solution[.SubFeature] there will never be a collision. GUID may be a bit faster, but activating/deactivating features using PowerShell is not where you get performance problems – Per Jakobsen Apr 24 '12 at 18:41

Try this,

$site = Get-SPSite http://yourserver

$site | Get-SPWeb -limit all | ForEach-Object {Enable-SPFeature -Identity "FeatureName" -Url $_.Url}

$site.Dispose()

-1 for linking your own (non-English) blog article that contains only one stsadm command that doesn't answer this question (PowerShell command is needed) – Vedran Rasol Apr 24 '12 at 13:57
Thanks for the -1 is right, I was racing and I was hoping it would be useful. – Stefano Paterno Apr 24 '12 at 14:56
