Help not updated

I have an installation of SCCM 2012 R2 CU4. I am looking at Set-CMBootImage and the help files are not showing all the available options. In fact, they basically let you rename the image and change security scopes and that's about it. However, what is perplexing is that the command itself will show the options when using the Tab completion technique. I'm pretty sure I ran Update-Help -Module ConfigurationManager and have brought the help files up to date. But, even if I did not, the online help is out of date as well. Unless I have not searched satisfactorily, the last update I have seen was February 7, 2015. Am I missing something here or are the files really not yet updated? If I upgrade to R2 SP1 will all be well, or is it just me? Is there a better link to the online help? I am using https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj821831(v=sc.20).aspx

This may not be helpful, but you might try (if you haven't already) running your Update-Help command to include the -Verbose parameter. This might provide some useful information -- who knows.

You should install the latest PowerShell cmdlets for ConfigMgr: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46681

Thanks Jason,

I did not know about the cmdlet library. I did as you said, but unfortunately little has changed. The Set-CMBootImage cmdlet works fine with many options, but the help still shows very little. I was hoping the Update-Help cmdlet would work, but it says the files are already the most current. The only parameters listed in the help files are: Description, Version, PackageSourcePath, NewName, SecuredScopeNames, SecurityScopeAction, Id, Name, InputObject, and SecurityScopeName. All the really important options are not listed, such as EnablePrestartCommand, EnableCommandSupport, EnableBinaryDeltaReplication, etc. All the key parameters that affect the boot image.

It's great that the command is working, I just wanted the help to be available, including online.

Best I can say is to file a bug a connect.microsoft.com for this.
