SCVMM 2016 - Remove standalone Host

Question

Hello,
I have a simple question. I would like to remove a standalone Hyper-V host from SCVMM 2016. When I right click on the host and select the Remove option, why does VMM give you this scary message? I don't think any settings are deleted from the host but just want to confirm. Thank you.

Hi @Thomas Ng ,

When you remove a host, the host will no longer managed by VMM. However, any virtual machines on the host server will not be removed or disassociated from the server.

Any running virtual machines are not shut down. Although the virtual machines are no longer managed by VMM, they are not affected in any other way.
