Use this cmdlet to remove a direct membership rule from a device or user collection.
A direct membership rule lets you explicitly choose the members of the collection.
Default collections don't have direct membership rules. Any collection that you target should have an ID that starts with the site code, not SMS.
For more information, see How to create collections in Configuration Manager.
When you remove a direct membership rule from a collection, the resource may no longer be a member of the collection. This action can cause any software or configuration deployment to not apply to the resource.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Remove the local machine from a collection of test devices
This example uses the Windows environment variable ComputerName to remove it from the collection named Test Devices. It uses the Force parameter to not prompt for confirmation.
Specify an array of resource objects to remove from the collection. To get this object, use the Get-CMResource, Get-CMDevice, or Get-CMUser cmdlets.
