Server applications refer to the individual programs that run under Skype for Business Server. The Remove-CsServerApplication cmdlet provides a way for administrators to remove any application running as part of Skype for Business Server. Note that deleting a server application is not the same thing as uninstalling that application. When you run the Remove-CsServerApplication cmdlet, the application no longer runs under Skype for Business Server. However, the software itself is not uninstalled and the application can be re-enabled by running the New-CsServerApplication cmdlet.

Remove-CsServerApplication -Identity "service:EdgeServer:atl-edge-001.litwareinc.com/EdgeMonitor"

In Example 1, the server application that has the Identity service: EdgeServer:atl-edge-001.litwareinc.com/EdgeMonitor is removed. Because Identities must be unique, this command will never delete more than a single application.

Get-CsServerApplication | Where-Object {$_.Critical -eq $False} | Remove-CsServerApplication

In Example 2, all the non-critical server applications are removed. To carry out this task, the command first calls the Get-CsServerApplication cmdlet in order to return a collection of all the server applications currently in use in the organization. This collection is then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which picks all the applications where the Critical property is equal to False. This filtered collection is then piped to the Remove-CsServerApplication cmdlet, which deletes each item in the collection.

Get-CsServerApplication -Filter "service:EdgeServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com/*" | Remove-CsServerApplication

Example 3 deletes all the server applications that have been configured for use by the service EdgeServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com. To do this, the Get-CsServerApplication cmdlet is used along with the Filter parameter; the filter value "service:EdgeServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com/*" returns all the applications that have an Identity that begins with the characters "service:EdgeServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com/". In turn, that collection is piped to the Remove-CsServerApplication cmdlet, which deletes each application from the EdgeServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com.

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutBuffer, -OutVariable, -PipelineVariable, -ProgressAction, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.

The Remove-CsServerApplication cmdlet accepts pipelined instances of the server application object.
