Description
The Remove-SCXAgent cmdlet removes the targeted managed UNIX and Linux computers from the management group. Managed UNIX and Linux computers are passed to the Remove-SCXAgent cmdlet as an array of UNIX and Linux computer objects.
For information about retrieving managed UNIX and Linux computers, see the Get-SCXAgent cmdlet.
This cmdlet does not return any output.
Examples
Example 1: Remove management agents
PS C:\>$Agents = Get-SCXAgent -Name "scxserver1.contoso.com","scxserver2*","*.development.contoso.com"
PS C:\> Remove-SCXAgent -Agent $Agents
The first command gets agents for managed Linux or UNIX computers that match the specified names by using the Get-SCXAgent cmdlet. The command stores the results in the $Agents array variable.
The final command removes the agents in $Agents.
Example 2: Uninstall a management agent with the defined Run As account
PS C:\>Get-SCXAgent -Name "scxserver1.contoso.com","scxserver2*","*.development.contoso.com" | Remove-SCXAgent
This command gets agents for managed Linux or UNIX computer that match the specified names by using Get-SCXAgent. The command passes the agents to the current cmdlet. The command removes the management agents.
Parameters
-Agent
Specifies one or more managed UNIX and Linux computer objects.
