Detailed Description

This cmdlet has 2 functions:

  • Remove desktop groups from the system.
  • Break Remote PC associations between desktop groups and a catalog.

The Remote PC relationships are used by Remote PC automation to determine which desktop groups a machine in a particular Remote PC catalog can be published to. The assignment policy rules belonging to those desktop groups also determines the set of users that are allowed to be assigned to machines from the catalog.

Parameters

Name Description Required? Pipeline Input Default Value
InputObject Specifies the desktop groups to remove. true true (ByValue) null
Name Specifies the name of the desktop group to remove. true true (ByPropertyName) null
Force Remove desktop groups even if there are active sessions. false false false
RemotePCCatalog When this parameter is specified, Remote PC desktop groups are removed from the specified Remote PC catalog. false true (ByValue) null
LoggingId Specifies the identifier of the high level operation that this cmdlet call forms a part of. Desktop Studio and Desktop 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  
AdminAddress Specifies the address of a XenDesktop controller that the PowerShell snapin will connect to. This can be provided as a host name or an IP address. false false Localhost. Once a value is provided by any cmdlet, this value will become the default.
BearerToken Specifies the bearer token assigned to the calling user false false  
VirtualSiteId Specifies the virtual site the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. false false  

Input Type

Citrix.Broker.Admin.Sdk.Desktopgroup

You can pipe desktop groups to Remove-BrokerDesktopGroup.

Return Values

None

Notes

If a desktop group contains desktops when it is removed, these desktops are also removed (but the underlying broker machine remains).
A desktop group that still has active sessions cannot be removed unless the -Force switch is used.
