Description

The Clear-AzureRemoteAppVmStaleAdObject cmdlet removes objects in Microsoft Entra ID that are associated with Azure RemoteApp virtual machines that no longer exist.

Examples

Example 1: Clear stale objects for a collection

PS C:\> $AdminCredentials = Get-Credential
PS C:\> Clear-AzureRemoteAppVmStaleAdObject -CollectionName "Contoso" -Credential $AdminCredentials

The first command prompts you for a user name and password by using Get-Credential. The command stores the results in the $AdminCredentials variable.

The second command clears the stale objects for the collection named Contoso. The command uses the credentials stored in $AdminCredentials variable. In order for the command to succeed, those credentials must have appropriate rights.
