Removes a provisioning scheme

Syntax

Remove-ProvScheme [-ProvisioningSchemeName] <String> [-ForgetVM] [-LoggingId <Guid>] [-BearerToken <String>] [-AdminAddress <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Remove-ProvScheme -ProvisioningSchemeUid <Guid> [-ForgetVM] [-LoggingId <Guid>] [-BearerToken <String>] [-AdminAddress <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
<!--NeedCopy-->

Detailed Description

Provides the ability to remove a provisioning Scheme. The provisioning scheme must not contain any VMs unless the ‘ForgetVM’ option is specified.

If ‘ForgetVM’ is not specified, a cmdlet task is created that runs in the background to remove the hard disk copies that have been created for the provisioning scheme in hypervisor storage. Use the Get-ProvTask command to monitor the progress of this task.

Parameters

Name Description Required? Pipeline Input Default Value
ProvisioningSchemeName The name of the provisioning scheme to be removed. true true (ByPropertyName)  
ProvisioningSchemeUid The unique identifier for the provisioning scheme to be removed. true true (ByPropertyName)  
ForgetVM Indicates whether or not the VMs in the provisioning scheme should be left in the hypervisor and only the data held in the Machine Creation Services removed. If this is specified, it is up to the administrator of the hypervisor to remove the VMs and hard disk images using the tools provided by the hypervisor itself. false false  
LoggingId Specifies the identifier of the high-level operation this cmdlet call forms a part of. Citrix Studio and Director typically create high-level operations. PowerShell scripts can also wrap a series of cmdlet calls in a high-level operation by way of the Start-LogHighLevelOperation and Stop-LogHighLevelOperation cmdlets. false false  
BearerToken Specifies the bearer token assigned to the calling user false false  
AdminAddress Specifies the address of a XenDesktop controller that the PowerShell snap-in connects to. You can provide this as a host name or an IP address. false false LocalHost. Once a value is provided by any cmdlet, this value becomes the default.
