Hello,

I try to delete groups in SCOM 2016 by powershell script. This works for all groups, exept they are subgroups of another group. How can I remove the subgroup relationship by script to be able to delete this group in the next step?

Thank you!!

    Hi,
    a dumb question maybe: Have you tried with this script:

    Hi Stoyan,

    yes, I already saw that script and included the part of deleting monitors targeting the group in my script.
    Nevertheless it doesn't work for subgroups.

    Kind regards,
    Uwe
