Update-DbaInstance Exiting with Warning

[ghost]

Hi,

I need help with the Update-DbaInstance cmdlet which is exiting with a warning message.

I'm trying to install cumulative updates on SQL Server 2019 instances on Windows Server 2016 using Update-DbaInstance. I'm running version 1.1.12 of dbatools. The servers I am targeting have CU11 installed and I am trying to install CU13. The servers are not connected to the internet.

When I run Update-DbaInstance it returns the following warning,

"WARNING: [12:31:58][Get-DbaBuildReferenceIndex] Index is stale, last update on: 2021-08-04T00:00:00, try the -Update parameter to fetch the most up to date index"

The commandlet Get-DbaBuildReferenceIndex doesn't exist in the version of dbatools I'm using (1.1.12) - or it's not publicly accessible - and I've tried running Get-DbaBuildReference before Update-DbaInstance but it returns the same warning message. Running the command with the -Update parameter won't help because the servers are not connected to the internet. I've included a screenshot of the script I'm running including the output.

Has anyone encountered this behaviour? If so is there a workaround? Or something else I need to check and/or enable?

Thank you.
