Syntax
Remove-DfsnRootTarget

[-TargetPath] <String>

[-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
[-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
[-AsJob]
[-WhatIf]
[-Confirm]
[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Remove-DfsnRootTarget cmdlet removes a target for a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace root. This cmdlet deletes a target, but does not delete the contents of the target.
A DFS namespace root can have more than one root target. If you remove the last root target associated with a DFS namespace root, this cmdlet deletes the namespace as well. Users cannot use the DFS namespace path after you delete the namespace.
For more information about DFS namespaces, see Overview of DFS Namespaces on TechNet.
Examples
Example 1: Remove a root target
Remove-DfsnRootTarget -TargetPath '\\Contoso-FS\AccountingSoftware' -Path '\\Contoso\AccountingSoftware'This command removes the DFS root target path \\Contoso-FS\AccountingSoftware from the DFS
namespace that has the path \\Contoso\AccountingSoftware.
Parameters
-AsJob
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.

-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If
this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an

computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the
computer.
