-- Passing in the Update ID (GUID) and RevisionNumber. This cmdlet will return a single update matching the specified Update ID and revision number.
-- Passing in filter parameters. These parameters include Classification, Approval, and Status. One or more updates matching the specified criteria will be returned.
