Syntax

Remove-SCServicingWindow
      [-ServicingWindow] <ServicingWindow>
      [-RunAsynchronously]

Description

The Remove-SCServicingWindow cmdlet removes a servicing window definition from Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). If the servicing window is assigned to a virtual machine, a host, or a service, the association is also removed.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a servicing window

PS C:\> $SvcWindow = Get-SCServicingWindow -Name "Backup Staging A"
PS C:\> Remove-SCServicingWindow -ServicingWindow $SvcWindow -Confirm

The first command gets the servicing window object named Backup Staging A and stores the object in the $SvcWindow variable.

The second command removes the servicing window stored in $SvcWindow (Backup Staging A).

Important: All objects subscribing to this service window will lose their subscription.
