Remove-DfsnRootTarget

Remove-DfsnRootTarget

Removes a target for a DFS namespace root.

Syntax

Parameter Set: RemoveNamespaceRootTarget2
Remove-DfsnRootTarget [-TargetPath] <String> [[-Cleanup]] [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-Path <String> ] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Remove-DfsnRootTarget cmdlet removes a target for a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace root. A folder target is the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path of a shared folder or another namespace associated with a folder in a namespace. The folder target is where data and content is stored. This cmdlet deletes a target, but does not delete the contents of the folder target.

A DFS namespace root can have more than one root target. If you remove the last root target associated with a DFS namespace root, this cmdlet deletes the namespace as well. Users cannot use the DFS namespace path after you delete the namespace.

For more information about DFS namespaces, see Overview of DFS Namespaces (https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc730736) on TechNet.
