[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Remove-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter cmdlet removes one or more virtual network adapter objects from a virtual machine, virtual machine template, or hardware profile used in a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) environment.
This cmdlet returns the object upon success (with the property MarkedForDeletion set to $True) or returns an error message upon failure.
Examples
Example 1: Remove a virtual network adapter with the specified MAC address from a virtual machine
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01"
PS C:\> $Adapter = Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VM $VM | where { $_.PhysicalAddress -eq "00:16:D3:CC:00:1B" }
PS C:\> Remove-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VirtualNetworkAdapter $AdapterThe first command gets the virtual machine object named VM01 and stores the object in the $VM variable.
The second command gets the virtual network adapter object on VM01 that has the specified MAC address and stores the object in the $Adapter variable.
The last command removes the virtual network adapter stored in $Adapter from VM01.
Example 2: Remove a virtual network adapter connected to a specific virtual network from a virtual machine
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM02"
PS C:\> $Adapter = Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VM $VM | where { $_.VirtualNetwork -eq "ExternalVirtualNetwork01" }
PS C:\> Remove-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VirtualNetworkAdapter $AdapterThe first command gets the virtual machine object named VM02 and stores the object in the $VM variable.
The second command gets the virtual network adapter object on VM02 that is connected to the specified virtual network and stores the object in the $Adapter variable.
The last command removes the virtual network adapter object stored in $Adapter from VM02.
Example 3: Remove the only virtual network adapter from a virtual machine
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM03"
PS C:\> $Adapter = Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VM $VM
PS C:\> Remove-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VirtualNetworkAdapter $AdapterThe first command gets the virtual machine object named VM03 and stores the object in the $VM variable.
The second command gets the virtual network adapter object on VM03 and stores the object in the $Adapter variable. This example assumes that VM03 has only one virtual network adapter.
The last command removes the virtual network adapter object stored in $Adapter from VM03.
Example 4: Remove all virtual network adapters from a virtual machine
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM04"
PS C:\> $Adapters = Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VM $VM
PS C:\> $Adapters | Remove-SCVirtualNetworkAdapterThe first command gets the virtual machine object named VM04 and stores the object in the $VM variable.
The second command gets all virtual network adapter objects on VM04 and stores the objects in the $Adapters object array.
The last command passes each object stored in $Adapters to Remove-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter, which removes each virtual network adapter object from VM04.
Example 5: Remove the second virtual network adapter from a virtual machine that has three virtual network adapters
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM05"
PS C:\> $Adapters = Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VM $VM
PS C:\> $Adapters[1] | Remove-SCVirtualNetworkAdapterThe first command gets the virtual machine object named VM05 and stores the object in the $VM variable.
The second command gets all virtual network adapter objects on VM05 and stores the objects in the $Adapters object array. This example assumes that VM05 has three virtual network adapters.
The last command passes the second virtual network adapter object ($Adapters [1]) to the Remove-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter cmdlet, which removes this virtual network adapter object from VM05.
Parameters

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | cf |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-JobGroup
Specifies an identifier for a series of commands that will run as a set just before the final command that includes the same job group identifier runs.
| Type: | Guid |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-JobVariable
Specifies that job progress is tracked and stored in the variable named by this parameter.

| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-OnBehalfOfUser
Specifies a user name. This cmdlet operates on behalf of the user that this parameter specifies.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-OnBehalfOfUserRole

| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-RunAsynchronously
Indicates that the job runs asynchronously so that control returns to the command shell immediately.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
