Thanks for this script, I rewrote it a little to this:

$sgs = (Get-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell).Installed
$mif = (Get-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra).Installed

new-object PSObject -Property @{
ComputerName = $hostname
FullServer = ($sgs -and $mif)
MinShell =($sgs -and !$mif)
ServerCore = (!$sgs -and !$mif)
}

MinShell =($sgs -and !$mif)
ServerCore = (!$sgs -and !$mif)
}
