Description

The Remove-NfsShare cmdlet stops sharing Network File System (NFS) shares. You can remove a share by using the share name or the share folder path. If the server belongs to a server cluster, you must also specify the network name. You can use wildcards in the Name or Path parameter to delete multiple shares.

Users connected to a shared folder are disconnected when you stop sharing it. Users may lose data if you stop sharing a folder containing an open shared file without warning. When possible, notify users before you stop sharing a folder.

Examples

Example 1: Remove an NFS share by name

PS C:\> Remove-NfsShare -Name "NFSshare01"
Are you sure you want to perform this action?
Performing operation "Remove Share" on Target "C:\shares\NFSshare01".
[Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No  [L] No to All  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"): y

This command stops sharing the folder C:\shares\NFSshare01 named NFSshare01.

Example 2: Remove an NFS share by its path

PS C:\> Remove-NfsShare -Path "C:\shares\NFSshare01"
Are you sure you want to perform this action?
Performing operation "Remove Share" on Target "C:\shares\NFSshare01".
[Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No  [L] No to All  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"): y

This command stops sharing the folder that has the path C:\shares\NFSshare01.

Parameters

-AsJob

Indicates that this cmdlet runs the command as a background job on a remote computer. Use this parameter to run commands that take an extensive time to finish.

When you use the AsJob parameter, the command returns an object that represents the job, and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job finishes. To manage the job, use the Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

The AsJob parameter resembles using the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a Start-Job command remotely. However, with AsJob, the job is created on the local computer, even though the job runs on a remote computer, and the results of the remote job are automatically returned to the local computer.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs and about_Remote_Jobs.

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Specifies the input to this cmdlet. You can use this parameter, or you can pipe the input to this cmdlet.

-Name

Specifies an array of names of the shared folders to remove from an NFS server.

-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 optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
