I have an R2 box and it doesn't look like http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/432/powershell-snap-in-using-the-powershell-help-system/ applies.
PS IIS:\> get-help WebAdministration Get-Help : Error loading help content for WebAdministration from file "Microsoft.IIS.Powershell.Provider.dll-Help.xml". Details: Microsoft.IIS.Powershell.Provider.dll-Help.xml. At line:1 char:9 + get-help <<<< WebAdministration + CategoryInfo : OpenError: (:) [Get-Help], FileNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : LoadHelpFileForTargetFailed,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetHelpCommand
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-Help WebAdministration Get-Help : Error loading help content for WebAdministration from file "Microsoft.IIS.Powershell.Provider.dll-Help.xml". Details: Microsoft.IIS.Powershell.Provider.dll-Help.xml. At line:1 char:9 + Get-Help <<<< WebAdministration + CategoryInfo : OpenError: (:) [Get-Help], FileNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : LoadHelpFileForTargetFailed,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetHelpCommand
I'm interested in getting help with the builtin IIS cmdlets like new-item. Anyone know how to get help on this?
TIA

Did you use the "IIS PowerShell Management Console" desktop shortcut to start powershell? This shortcut gets created as part of IIS powershell snapin install and loads the IISProviderSnapin component in powershell.

I've asked the IIS team about this documentation failure for giving help with dynamic parameters.
Did you have a specific question other than that?
