Description
The Remove-CMComputerAssociation cmdlet deletes a computer association from Configuration Manager. You can specify the association to remove by specifying both computers in the association or by specifying the association ID, or you can use the Get-CMComputerAssociation cmdlet to get an association to remove.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Remove an association by using computer names
PS XYZ:\> Remove-CMComputerAssociation -DestinationComputer "West155" -SourceComputer "West073"
This command removes the computer association between the computers named West155 and West073.
Example 2: Remove an association by using an ID
PS XYZ:\> Remove-CMComputerAssociation -MigrationId "MID1207" -Force
This command removes the computer association that has the ID MID1207. This command uses the Force parameter, so the cmdlet does not prompt you for confirmation before it removes the association.
Example 3: Remove an association by using a variable
PS XYZ:\> $CMCA = Get-CMComputerAssociation -MigrationId "MID1207"
PS XYZ:\> Remove-CMComputerAssociation -InputObject $CMCA -Force
The first command gets the computer association that has the ID MID1207, and saves it in the $CMCA variable.
The second command removes the association saved in the $CMCA variable. This command uses the Force parameter, so the cmdlet does not prompt you for confirmation before it removes the association.
Parameters
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
