Description
The Remove-SCVMXComputerConfiguration cmdlet removes one or more VMX computer configuration objects from the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) database.
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 all VMX computer configurations without being prompted to confirm each deletion
PS C:\> $VMXComputerConfigs = Get-SCVMXComputerConfiguration -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> $VMXComputerConfigs | Remove-SCVMXComputerConfiguration
The first command retrieves all VMX computer configuration objects from the VMM database on VMMServer01 and stores these objects in the $VMXComputerConfigs object array.
The second command passes each object in $VMXComputerConfigs to Remove-VMXComputerConfiguration, which removes each VMX computer configuration object.
Parameters
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
