[-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
[-AsJob]
[-WhatIf]
[-Confirm]
[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Remove-DfsnFolderTarget cmdlet removes a target for a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace folder. A folder target is the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path of a shared folder or another namespace associated with a folder in a namespace. The folder target is where data and content is stored. This cmdlet deletes a target, but does not delete the contents of the folder target.
A DFS namespace folder can have more than one target. If you remove the last target associated with a DFS namespace folder, this cmdlet deletes the namespace folder as well. Users cannot use the DFS namespace folder after you delete it.
For more information about DFS namespaces, see Overview of DFS Namespaces on TechNet.
Examples
Example 1: Remove a folder target
Remove-DfsnFolderTarget -Path '\\Contoso\AccountingResources\LegacySoftware' -TargetPath '\\Contoso-FS\LegacySoftware'This command removes the target \\Contoso-FS\LegacySoftware for the DFS namespace folder
\\Contoso\AccountingResources\LegacySoftware.
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

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