  • Get-LatestAdobeFlashUpdate
  • Get-LatestCumulativeUpdate
  • Get-LatestNetFrameworkUpdate (new)
  • Get-LatestServicingStackUpdate
  • Get-LatestMonthlyRollup (dedicated for Windows 8/7)
  • Save-LatestUpdate
• External strings including feed URLs, search strings etc. are stored in an external manifest instead of embedded into the module
• Simplified parameters
• Import-LatestUpdate has been removed so that the function fully supports PowerShell Core. Importing an update into MDT can be easily scripted
• Addresses issues #39 #38 #36 #37 #33 #32. Save-LatestUpdate has proxy support to address #16. Will add proxy support to other functions in a future update

v2.4.1.97

Public Functions

• Update Microsoft update feed issue handling. The Microsoft Atom/RSS feeds https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/4089498 used by this module do not consistently include the required information to find the update list. Get-LatestUpdate, Get-LatestFlash and Get-LatestServicingStack now exit more gracefully if the required content cannot be found and write a warning to alert of the issue.

Private Functions

• Add PSPath alias to Get-ValidPath

Tests

• A check is performed before running Save-LatestUpdate to avoid download if the tests are not running in AppVeyor. This avoids having to wait for downloads on my slow home internet when running tests.

Public Functions
