Examples

1: Remove a VMM PXE server.

The first command uses the Get-Credential cmdlet to prompt you to supply a user name and password and stores the provided credentials in the $Credential variable. The account must have local Administrator permissions on the PXE server.

The second command gbets the PXE server object named WDSServer01 and stores the object in the $PXEServer variable.

The third command removes the PXE server object stored in $PXEServer. As this command is processed, $Credential provides credentials to Remove-SCPXEServer, and the Confirm parameter prompts you to confirm that you do want to remove this PXE server from VMM.

PS C:\> $Credential = Get-SCRunAsAccount "RunAsAcct01"
PS C:\> $PXEServer = Get-SCPXEServer -ComputerName "WDSServer01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> Remove-SCPXEServer -PXEServer $PXEServer -Credential $Credential -Confirm
