Set-PatchBaseline
This cmdlet modifies the properties of a patch baseline. You can specify explicitly the patches you want to include in the baseline through the IncludePatch parameter. Also, you can use the SearchPatch* parameters to filter the patches you want to include by their properties, product, vendor, severity, and release date. Note that patches that have been excluded through the ExcludePatch parameter will not be included even if they correspond to the filter defined by the SearchPatch* parameters.

Patches specified by the ExcludePatch parameter are not included in the CurrentPatches property of a baseline. |
