Get a Specific Solution
Scenario/Problem: You need to obtain a specific solution reference.
Solution: Use the Get-SPSolution cmdlet to assign a variable the results using the -Identity parameter.
Providing the identity of the solution with the Get-SPSolution cmdlet retrieves a specific solution. Use this to assign the results to an object for use in other cmdlets, as shown in Listing 9.3.
Listing 9.3. Assigning a Variable to a Specific Solution
$solution = Get-SPSolution-Identity c0e31dec-294d-4f2d-9ae4-f2e637c766bd
Tip
Instead of using the solution GUID, you may instead use the name of the solution as listed in the output when issuing Get-SPSolution without any parameters.
