I´m trying to create a centralized Help distribution folder
i´ve created and shared a folder: c:\update-help$, sahred for everyone, read
in a central machine, the sheduled task, running evgery day
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command "& {Save-Help -DestinationPath 'C:\Update-Help$'}"
No problem, the help files are downlaoded
The idea com from the post: http://blog.powershell.no/2013/03/09/automatically-update-help-files-for-windows-powershell/
So, i´ve configured a GPO< to force all win2012 servers to get the help file from the shared folder \\update-help\update-help$ folder
When i´m on a outdated Win2012, i can do the save-help, to update de the help, based on the central folder
IN the same machine (File Server) as the help files are stored, the error, using the PS admin:
