NAME Get-DbaKbUpdate
SYNOPSIS
Gets download links and detailed information for KB files (SPs/hotfixes/CUs, etc)
SYNTAX
Get-DbaKbUpdate [-Name] <System.String[]> [-Simple <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Parses catalog.update.microsoft.com and grabs details for KB files (SPs/hotfixes/CUs, etc)
Because Microsoft's RSS feed does not work, the command has to parse a few webpages which can result in slowness.
Use the Simple parameter for simplified output and faster results.
PARAMETERS
-EnableException [<Switch>]
By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables
advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own
try/catch.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Name [<System.String[]>]
The KB name or number. For example, KB4057119 or 4057119.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Simple [<Switch>]
A lil faster. Returns, at the very least: Title, Architecture, Language, Hotfix, UpdateId and Link
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
