First off, I am using Don's PowerShell 3 2nd edition. At chapter 3. I have two machines that are not internet connected. Thought this would be easy. 🙁 I am running everything in Administrator and using ISE x64.

I used this command on a connected computer that has a share (Everyone – Read, Modify)
This command worked fine from what I saw with no errors.
Save-Help –Force –DestinationPath \\CL-WIN830CC\PowerShellHelp

Went to the non-connected machine and mapped a drive to the share.
I used this command next
update-Help –Force –sourcePath \\CL-WIN830CC\PowerShellHelp
Fails after some files copying with a specific error. I also tried a few different parameters but still same error. Please see attachment. I ended up just connecting one machine to the internet and did the basic update-help and the machine is updated but I have more non-connected machines. Any help would be great!
Thanks
Steve

Well I can see I am going to have user issues posting images.
Here is the text of the error.

PS C:\Users\Administrator> update-help -force -sourcepath \\cl-win830cc\powershellhelp

XML file for UI culture en-US. Make sure the HelpInfoUri property in the module manifest is valid or check your network connection
and then try the command again.
