Update-ExchangeHelp

This cmdlet is available only in on-premises Exchange.

Use the Update-ExchangeHelp cmdlet to find, download and install the latest available help topics for the Exchange Management Shell on the local computer. If an available version is found based your installed version and languages of Exchange, the cmdlet downloads and integrates the updated version of Help in the Exchange Management Shell. This cmdlet is a required substitute for the Update-Help cmdlet that's available in Windows PowerShell.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Examples

Example 1

Update-ExchangeHelp -Force

This example checks for the latest available version of Help for the Exchange Management Shell on the local computer. Because we used the Force switch, the command checks for updates even if you ran the command less than 24 hours ago and displays status and error messages.

Parameters

-Force

The Force switch hides warning or confirmation messages. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

By default, the Update-ExchangeHelp cmdlet has a throttling period of 24 hours. If you run this cmdlet within 24 hours of the last time you ran it, it won't check for updates. You can use this switch to force the cmdlet to check for updates more frequently and to display status or error messages.
