Remove-SCISO

Removes an ISO file from the VMM library.

Description

The Remove-SCISO cmdlet removes an ISO file from the System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) library and deletes the ISO file on the library server. 

If the ISO is attached to a virtual machine, template, or hardware profile (and if you do not use the Force parameter), VMM lists the container that includes the ISO and prompts you to confirm that you want to remove the ISO:

- If you reply Yes, VMM removes the association between the ISO and 
  the container to which it is attached, and then deletes the ISO 
  object from VMM.

- If you reply No, the operation is cancelled.

This cmdlet returns the object upon success (with the property MarkedForDeletion set to TRUE) or returns an error message upon failure.

Parameters

ISO

Required? true
Accept Pipeline Input? true (ByValue)
Position? 0 
Specifies an ISO object.

Confirm

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Prompts for confirmation before running the command.

Force

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Forces the operation to complete. 

For example:
- Remove-SCSCVMHost -Force
  Forces the removal of a host object from the VMM database.

- Stop-SCVirtualMachine -Force
  Stops a virtual machine.

JobVariable

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies that job progress is tracked and stored in the variable named by this parameter.

PROTipID

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies the ID of the PRO tip that triggered this action. This allows for auditing of PRO tips.

RunAsynchronously

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Indicates that the job runs asynchronously so that control returns to the command shell immediately. 

Requires a VMM ISO object, which can be retrieved by using the Get-SCISO cmdlet.

Examples

1: Remove an ISO object and delete the corresponding .iso file. 
PS C:\> $ISO = Get-SCISO -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" | where { $_.Name -eq "OsISO.iso" -and $_.LibraryServer.Name -eq "LibraryServer01.Contoso.com" }
PS C:\> Remove-SCISO -ISO $ISO

The first command gets the ISO object named OsISO.iso from LibraryServer01 and stores the ISO object in the $ISO variable. 

The second command removes the ISO object from the library and deletes the corresponding .iso file from the file system on the library server.
2: Remove multiple ISO objects from the library. 
PS C:\> $ISOs = Get-SCISO -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" | where { $_.Name -match "OsISO" }
PS C:\> $ISOs | Remove-SCISO

The first command gets all ISO objects whose name includes the string “OsISO” and stores these ISO objects in the $ISOs variable. 

The second command passes each ISO object in $ISOs to the Remove-ISO cmdlet, which removes each ISO object from the library and deletes the corresponding .iso file from the file system on the library server.
