Update-Help: VMM PowerShell

  • Article

PowerShell iconIf you've opened the VMM 2012 SP1 PowerShell console and performed a command to get help on cmdlets, you may be in for a surprise. Examples are not included out of the box, and there were tons of great examples in VMM 2008 R2. The syntax below should, but does not, output all help including example use.

get-help <cmdlet-name> -full

 

There is a simple way of resolving this issue. Open the ‘Virtual Machine Manager Command Shell’ located in Start. Open this elevated as administrator. Now type the following and updated help will be available.

update-help

When this is done you can use a non-elevated VMM PowerShell and updated help will be available.
