Remove-VmsHardware

SYNOPSIS

Removes a Milestone XProtect VMS hardware device and all child devices.

SYNTAX

Remove-VmsHardware [-Hardware] <Hardware[]> [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Removes a Milestone XProtect VMS hardware device and all child devices. Any video, audio, and metadata associated with the device will be immediately, and irreverisbly deleted.

This command supports -WhatIf, and has a ConfirmImpact rating of "High". When running commands interactively, it's a good idea to take advantage of the -WhatIf parameter switch to see what would happen if you really ran the command.

If you do not want to confirm the operation, you can add -Confirm:$false to your command to disable confirmation.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Requires VMS connection and will attempt to connect automatically

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

linenums="1"
Connect-ManagementServer -ShowDialog -Force -AcceptEula
Get-VmsHardware | Out-GridView -OutputMode Single | Remove-VmsHardware -WhatIf
  1. Show a Milestone XProtect login dialog, disconnect from any existing session if present, and accept the end-user license agreement for MIP SDK.
  2. Present a list of all hardware on the VMS from which one entry can be selected. The selected hardware will be passed to Remove-VmsHardware.
  3. Thanks to the -WhatIf switch parameter, the hardware will not be removed. Instead, the operation will be logged to the terminal to show you what would have happened.

Note: To actually remove hardware, remove the -WhatIf switch. And if you expect to do this a lot, such as on a test system, you can add -Confirm:$false to disable confirmation.
