Optional Parameters

-Name

The KB name or number. For example, KB4057119 or 4057119.

-Path

The directory to save the file.

-FilePath

The exact file name to save to, otherwise, it uses the name given by the webserver

-Architecture

Defaults to x64. Can be x64, x86, ia64 or "All"

-Language

Cumulative Updates come in one file for all languages, but Service Packs have a file for every language. If you want to download only a specific language, use this parameter. You have to use the three letter code that is part of the filename, e. g. "enu" for english or "deu" for german.

-InputObject

Enables piping from Get-DbaKbUpdate

-EnableException

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.
