Description

The Remove-CMDevice cmdlet removes one or more Configuration Manager client devices. Do not remove a client if you want to uninstall the client or remove it from a collection.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a device by name

PS XYZ:\> Remove-CMDevice -DeviceName "WIN10-86-33"

This command removes the device named WIN10-86-33.

Example 2: Get a device and remove it

PS XYZ:\> Get-CMDevice -Name "TestVLAN-VNEXT" | Remove-CMDevice

This command gets the device object named TestVLAN-VNEXT and uses the pipeline operator to pass the object to Remove-CMDevice, which removes the device object.
