Description

Removing an OnPremisesOrganization object should only be used in circumstances where the hybrid deployment state is corrupt and under the direction and supervision of Microsoft Customer Service and Support. After removing the OnPremisesOrganization object, any related hybrid deployment configured with this object won't be functional and will need to be re-created and reconfigured.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Remove-OnPremisesOrganization -Identity ExchangeMail

This example removes the ExchangeMail OnPremisesOrganization object in a Microsoft 365 organization.

Parameters

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
