Offline update code doesn't seem to work.

[tsherrington]

When I run Get-KbUpdate -Since (Get-Date).AddDays(-30) -Architecture x64 | Out-GridView -Passthru | Save-KbUpdate -Path C:\temp\WindowsUpdates
I get the error "WARNING: [21:04:35][Save-KbUpdate] You must specify a KB name or pipe in results from Get-KbUpdate"

If I run Get-KbUpdate -Since (Get-Date).AddDays(-30) -Architecture x64 | Out-GridView I don't get any results, so I assume the issue is that it isn't finding anything.

What am I doing wrong?

I found setting the (Get-Date).AddDays(-30) to something like -180 worked to find updates. This makes me question if all the updates are pulling.

This happens because the local database is not updated and there is no way to update it without modifying the Get-kbupdate file, I wrote the solution in this post : #223

Thank you for this. With that change, I can update the local DB.

Once the DB is updated, I'm not able to use save-kbupdate though:
