Why am I getting this error when trying to install PSWindowsUpdate? I'm getting this error on all new servers.
[root@salt ~]# salt 'Windows001' psget.install PSWindowsUpdate

Figured it out. I had to run psget.bootstrap as per documentation. This will ensure that latest version of NuGet is installed remotely.
