The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

Notes

  • This cmdlet requires a VMM hardware profile object, which can be retrieved by using the Get-SCHardwareProfile cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a specific hardware profile from the library

The first command gets the hardware profile object named NewHWProfile01 from the VMM library, and then stores the object in the $HWProfile variable.

The second command deletes NewHWProfle01 from the library, prompting you for confirmation before completing the operation.

PS C:\> $HWProfile = Get-SCHardwareProfile | where { $_.Name -eq "NewHWProfile01"}
PS C:\> Remove-SCHardwareProfile -HardwareProfile $HWProfile -Confirm

Example 2: Remove all hardware profiles without being prompted to confirm each deletion

This command gets all hardware profile objects in the library, and then passes each profile object to the Remove-SCHardwareProfile cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. That cmdlet removes each hardware profile. This command does not specify the Confirm parameter. The cmdlet does not confirm whether you want to delete these hardware profile objects.

PS C:\> Get-SCHardwareProfile | Remove-SCHardwareProfile
