Files for Updatable Help for Windows PowerShell module Microsoft.PowerShell.Host |
This download contains the files Update-Help needs in a network that is not connected to the Internet. They are the same files that Save-Help downloads.
- When a computer cannot directly access the Internet, you can use the SourcePath parameter of Update-Help to get the updated help files from a file system location, such as a shared folder, and install them on the computer. Normally, you would populate the shared folder by running the Save-Help cmdlet from a computer that both has access to the Internet, and has the required feature or server role installed. However, in some environments with strict network restrictions, finding a computer that meets both requirements can be difficult. As an alternative, you can download the Help files manually, and copy them to an shared folder on your network, or a local folder that the restricted computers can access.

System Requirements
Operating Systems: Windows Server 2012

The files must remain named as they are on this page in order for Update-Help to find them.
Installation Instructions
- If you can run the Save-Help cmdlet on a computer connected to the Internet to get the Help files, then do not use this manual procedure. This procedure should be used only when you cannot run the Save-Help cmdlet.1. Download these files and copy them to a shared folder that the computers on which you want to install the Help can access. If you have a folder in which you have already stored the output of the Save-Help cmdlet, you can copy these files to that folder. 2. On the computers on which you want to install Help, run the command Update-Help -SourcePath foldername, where foldername is the path to the shared folder to which you copied the Help files in step 1
