Description

The Remove-CMSoftwareUpdateGroup cmdlet removes software update groups from Configuration Manager. You can specify each software update group that you are removing by using the group IDs or names. If you remove a software update group, you can use the Get-CMSoftwareUpdateGroup cmdlet to return a software update group object and use that object to specify the group that you want to remove.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a software update group by using an ID

PS XYZ:\> Remove-CMSoftwareUpdateGroup -Id "ST10000B"

This command removes the software update group that has the ID ST10000B.

Example 2: Remove a software update group by using a name

PS XYZ:\> Remove-CMSoftwareUpdateGroup -Name "SUGroupD01"

This command removes the software update group named SUGroupD01.

Example 3: Remove a software update group by using an object variable

PS XYZ:\> $SubObj=Get-CMSoftwareUpdateGroup -Id "ST10000B"
PS XYZ:\> Remove-CMSoftwareUpdateGroup -SoftwareUpdateGroup $SubObj

The first command gets the software update group that has the ID ST10000B, and then stores it in the variable $SubObj.

The second command removes the software update group by using the $SubObj variable.
