<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
Inputs
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
- Requires a VMM checkpoint object, which can be retrieved by using the Get-SCVMCheckpoint cmdlet.
Examples
1: Remove the most recent checkpoint for a virtual machine.
The first command gets all checkpoint objects for VM01 and stores these objects in the $Checkpoints object array. This example assumes that VM01 has several checkpoints.
The second command removes the first checkpoint in the array ($Checkpoints[0]). The Confirm parameter prompts you to confirm whether you want to remove the checkpoint.
PS C:\> $Checkpoint = Get-VMCheckpoint -VM "VM01" -MostRecent
PS C:\> Remove-SCVMCheckpoint -VMCheckpoint $Checkpoint -Confirm
2: Remove a specified checkpoint for a virtual machine.
The first command gets all checkpoint objects for VM01 and stores the objects in the $Checkpoints object array. This example assumes that VM01 has at least two checkpoints.
The second command removes the first checkpoint stored inthe $Checkpoints array, which is the first checkpoint created for VM01. The command prompts you for confirmation before proceeding.
PS C:\> $Checkpoints = Get-VMCheckpoint -VM "VM01"
PS C:\> Remove-VMCheckpoint -VMCheckpoint $Checkpoints[0] -Confirm
