Remove-SCVMHostGroup

Removes a host group from VMM.

Syntax

Parameter Set: Default
Remove-SCVMHostGroup [-VMHostGroup] <HostGroup> [-JobVariable <String> ] [-PROTipID <Guid]> ] [-RunAsynchronously] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Remove-SCVMHostGroup cmdlet removes one or more host group objects from the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) database. A host group cannot be deleted if it is associated with a private cloud, if it has hosts assigned to it, or if its child host group has hosts assigned to it. This cmdlet will delete child host groups if the host group and its child host groups do not contain any virtual machine hosts.

This cmdlet returns the object upon success, with the MarkedForDeletion property set to TRUE, or returns an error message upon failure.
