Detailed Description

The Remove-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule cmdlet removes specified Microsoft System Center 2012 SP1 Configuration Manager deployment rules for automatic software updates.

System Center 2012 Configuration Manager uses rules to manage automatic deployment of software updates. When a rule runs, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager adds updates that qualify for the rule to a software update group. The System Center 2012 Configuration Manager server downloads content files and copies them to distribution points, and then updates client computers.

You can specify rules to remove by ID or by name, or specify a rule object by using the Get-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule cmdlet. This cmdlet deletes rules permanently. You can use the Disable-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule cmdlet to suspend a rule.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a deployment rule by name

This command removes a rule named Weekly Driver Updates. Because the command does not include the Force parameter, the cmdlet prompts you before it deletes the rule.

PS C:\> Remove-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule -Name "Weekly Driver Updates"

Example 2: Remove a deployment rule by ID

This command disables a deployment rule that has the ID 16777217. This command includes the Force parameter, so the cmdlet does not prompt you before it removes the rule.

PS C:\> Remove-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule -Id "16777217" -Force

Example 3: Remove a deployment rule by using a variable

The first command gets a deployment rule that has the specified name, and then stores it in the $CMSUADR variable.

The second command removes the rule stored in the variable.

PS C:\> $CMSUADR = Get-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule -Name "Weekly Driver Updates"
PS C:\> Remove-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule -InputObject $CMSUADR -Force
