Remove-DfsnRoot |
Removes a DFS namespace.
Remove-DfsnRoot [-Path] <String> [-Force] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
[-AsJob] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
The Remove-DfsnRoot cmdlet removes a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace. When you remove a namespace, you remove all the folders in the namespace. Users cannot use the DFS namespace folders after you remove the namespace. This cmdlet does not delete the folders specified by DFS namespace targets or the files in those folders.
For more information about DFS namespaces, see Overview of DFS Namespaces on TechNet.
Remove-DfsnRoot -Path '\\Contoso\AccountingResources'
Confirm
Performing operation "Delete DFS Namespace" on Target "\\Contoso\AccountingResources"
[Y] Yes [N] No [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"):
This command removes the DFS namespace that has the path \\Contoso\AccountingResources
. The
command does not include the Force parameter, so you must confirm the operation.
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command
prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the
*-Job
cmdlets. To get the job results, use the
Receive-Job cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.
