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.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Remove all desktop groups with names starting with “EMEA”.

Remove-BrokerDesktopGroup EMEA*
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 2

Remove all desktops that are currently disabled even if there are active sessions.

Get-BrokerDesktopGroup -Enabled $false | Remove-BrokerDesktopGroup -Force
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 3

Remove all the Remote PC desktop groups that are associated with catalog 42. Note that this only breaks the Remote PC relationships and does not delete the desktop groups.

Get-BrokerDesktopGroup -RemotePCCatalogUid 42 | Remove-BrokerDesktopGroup -RemotePCCatalog 42
