Syntax

Remove-HybridConfiguration
      [-Confirm]
      [-DomainController <Fqdn>]
      [-WhatIf]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Removing a HybridConfiguration object should typically only be performed in circumstances where the hybrid deployment state is corrupt and under the direction of Microsoft Customer Service and Support. After removing the HybridConfiguration object, your existing hybrid deployment configuration settings aren't disabled or removed. However, when the Hybrid Configuration wizard is run again after removing the HybridConfiguration object, the wizard won't have a hybrid configuration reference point for your existing feature settings. As a result, it will automatically create a HybridConfiguration object and record the new hybrid deployment configuration feature values defined in the wizard. The feature settings associated with the hybrid deployment, such as organization relationship or Send and Receive connector parameters, which were configured with the HybridConfiguration object that's removed, aren't removed or modified until the Hybrid Configuration wizard is run again.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

This example removes the HybridConfiguration object for the hybrid deployment.

Parameters

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
