  Tonight I fired up PowerShell as Administrator and tried to update the help system in PowerShell. (I do this every now and then.) Anyway, it worked mostly, but there was one error. I don't even know what if this is related to SQL Server 2016 or not. (I've got SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition installed on this machine.) Anyway, here's the error I got:

  Update-Help : Failed to update Help for the module(s) 'SqlServer' with UI culture(s) {en-US} : Th

  HelpInfoUri key in the module manifest must resolve to a container or root URL on a website where

  stored. The HelpInfoUri 'https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc732148.aspx' does not resolve to

  At line:1 char:1

  + Update-Help

  + ~~~~~~~~~~~

  + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Update-Help], Exception

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidHelpInfoUri,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.UpdateHelpCommand

  What does it mean?

  The HelpInfoUri 'https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc732148.aspx' does not resolve to

  It looks like a connection error or DNS problem.
