The Remove-AzVMDiskEncryptionExtension cmdlet removes the disk encryption extension and the associated extension configuration from a virtual machine. If no extension name is specified, this cmdlet removes the extension with default name AzureDiskEncryption for virtual machines that run the Windows operating system or AzureDiskEncryptionForLinux for Linux based virtual machines.
This cmdlet will fail if encryption on the virtual machine has not been first disabled. To disable encryption on a virtual machine, use Disable-AzVMDiskEncryption.
Examples
Example 1: Remove the disk encryption extension from a virtual machine.
This command removes the extension with default name AzureDiskEncryption for a virtual machine that runs the Windows operating system or AzureDiskEncryptionForLinux for Linux based virtual machine named MyTestVM.
Example 2: Remove a specific disk encryption extension from a virtual machine.
Specifies the name of the Azure Resource Manager resource that represents the extension.
The Set-AzVMDiskEncryptionExtension cmdlet sets this name to AzureDiskEncryption for virtual machines that run the Windows operating system and AzureDiskEncryptionForLinux for Linux virtual machines.
Specify this parameter only if you changed the default name in the Set-AzVMDiskEncryptionExtension cmdlet or used a different resource name in a Resource Manager template.
Starts the operation and returns immediately, before the operation is completed. In order to determine if the operation has successfully been completed, use some other mechanism.
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable,
-InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutBuffer, -OutVariable, -PipelineVariable,
