Detailed Description

Provides the ability to remove a provisioning Scheme. The provisioning scheme must not contain any VMs unless the ‘ForgetVM’ or ‘PurgeDBOnly’ option is specified. 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 of the provisioning scheme to be removed. true true (ByPropertyName)  
PurgeDBOnly If this option is specified, this command will only remove the provisioning scheme data from the Citrix site database. However, the VMs and related resources created in the provisioning scheme still remain in the hypervisor. The hypervisor administrator can remove the VMs and hard disk images using the tools provided by the hypervisor itself. This option can also be used when you are no longer able to contact the hypervisor and you want to remove the provisioning scheme from Citrix site database. This parameter cannot be used with “ForgetVM”. false false  
ForgetVM If this option is specified, this command will remove the provisioning scheme data from the Citrix site database and also delete Citrix-assigned identifiers(like tags or custom-attributes) on provisioning scheme, VMs and their related resources from hypervisor. However, the VMs and related resources created in the provisioning scheme still remain in the hypervisor after removing identifiers(like tags or custom-attributes). The hypervisor administrator can remove the VMs and hard disk images using the tools provided by the hypervisor itself. This parameter is only applied to persistent VMs and cannot be used with “PurgeDBOnly”. false false  
RunAsynchronously Indicates whether the command returns before it completes. If this is specified, the command returns an identifier for the task that was created. This task can be monitored using the get-ProvTask command. false false false
PurgeJobOnSuccess Indicates that the task history is removed from the database when the task completes. This cannot be specified for tasks that run asynchronously. 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  
AdminClientIP Specifies the Client IP of the calling user false false  
TraceParent Specifies the trace parent assigned for internal diagnostic tracing use false false  
TraceState Specifies the trace state assigned for internal diagnostic tracing user false false  
VirtualSiteId Specifies the virtual site the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. false false  
AdminAddress The address of a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 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.

Input Type

Citrix.Machinecreation.Sdk.Provisioningscheme

You can pipe an object containing a parameter called ‘ProvisioningSchemeName’ or ‘ProvisioningSchemeUid’ to Remove-ProvScheme.

Return Values

System.Guid

When the RunAsynchronously identifier is specified, this GUID is returned and provides the task identifier.

System.Management.Automation.Pscustomobject

This object provides details of the task that was run and contains the following information: TaskId <Guid> The identifier for the task that was performed. Active <bool> Indicates whether the task is still processing or is complete. Host <string> The name of the host on which the task is running or was run. DateStarted <DateTime> The date and time when the task was started. Metadata <Citrix.MachineCreation.Sdk.Metadata[]> The list of metadata stored for the task. For new tasks, this is empty until metadata is added. CurrentOperation <string> Operation specific phase of the overall “Running” task state. TaskProgress <double> The progress of the task 0-100%. LastUpdateTime <DateTime> The date and time of the last task status update. ActiveElapsedTime <int> Number of seconds the task has taken for active execution. DateFinished <DateTime> The date and time when the task was completed. TerminatingError < Citrix.Fma.Sdk.ServiceCore.CommonCmdlets.TaskterminatingError> Diagnostic information if the task completely fails. Type <Citrix.XDInterServiceTypes.JobType> The type of task. For new reset disk tasks, this is always “Reset-ProvVMDisk”. Status <string> ProvisioningSchemeName <string> The name of the provisioning scheme from which the VM was created. ProvisioningSchemeUid <Guid> The unique identifier of the provisioning scheme from which the VM was created. TaskState <Citrix.DesktopUpdateManager.SDK.ProvisionVMState> The state of the task. This can be any of the following: Processing Indicates that the task is in its initial state. LocatingResources, Indicates that the task is locating information from other services. HostingUnitNotFound Indicates that the required hosting unit could not be located. ProvisioningSchemeNotFound Indicates that the required provisioning scheme could not be located. Provisioning Indicates that the task is at the provisioning stage. IdentityPoolNotFound Indicates that the required identity pool could not be located. TaskAlreadyRunningForProvisioningScheme Indicates that the provisioning scheme already has another task running. Finalizing Indicates that the task is finalizing. Finished Indicates that the task is complete. FinishedWithErrors Indicates that the task is complete but there were errors. Specific details of errors are included with each failed virtual machine. Removing Indicates that the task is removing virtual machines from the hypervisor. Failed Job failed for reasons specified in TaskStateInformation. Canceled Indicates that the task was stopped by user intervention (using Stop-ProvTask) TaskStateInformation <string> Provides more detailed information about the current task state. WorkflowStatus <System.Workflow.Runtime.WorkflowStatus> Indicates the status of the workflow that is used to process the task. TaskExpectedCompletion <DateTime> The date and time at which the task is expected to complete.

Notes

If the hosting unit referenced by the provisioning scheme no longer exists (that is, has been removed using the Hosting Unit PowerShell snap-in), the provisioning scheme data is deleted from the database without errors. However, the hard disks associated with the provisioning scheme cannot be removed and remain in the hypervisor. In the case of failure, the following errors can result.

IllegalParameter One or more parameters are illegal or are not specified.
ProvisioningSchemeNotFound The specified provisioning scheme could not be located.
UnableToRemoveProvisioningSchemeDueToAssociatedVM The provisioning scheme contained VMs and the 'ForgetVM' or 'PurgeDBOnly' parameter was not specified.
DatabaseError An error occurred in the service while attempting a database operation.
DatabaseNotConfigured The operation could not be completed because the database for the service is not configured.
ServiceStatusInvalidDb An error occurred in the service while attempting a database operation - communication with the database failed for for various reasons.
CommunicationError An error occurred while communicating with the service.
PermissionDenied The user does not have administrative rights to perform this operation.
ConfigurationLoggingError The operation could not be performed because of a configuration logging error
ExceptionThrown An unexpected error occurred. For more details, see the Windows event logs on the controller being used or Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops logs.
The cmdlet is associated with a task of type DisusedImageCleanUp, and while active will move through the following operations (CurrentOperation field)
Running
