StarWindX

I've been teaching myself how to use StarWindX. I noticed that the help link that is created under the StarwindX Powershell start menu does not open a StarWindX help file. I found the help file in c:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\StarWindX\en-US\. I was able to decipher the command line syntax using the StarWindX.psm1-help.xml file.

Kind of strange as we don't throw help files there. We'll check everything. Could you please let me know what do you try to automate?

Jerry,
You can get this help from PowerShell:
List all cmdlets from StarWindX module:

Code: Select all

Get-Command -Module StarWindX

Get help on specific cmdlet:

Code: Select all

Get-Help <cmdlet_name> -full

For example, to get help on creating ImageFile device, run:

Code: Select all

Get-Help New-ImageFile -full

You'll get syntax for the command, description for all parameters and a small example.
