Description

The Remove-SCOMADAgentAssignment cmdlet removes Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) agent assignments from the management group.

After you remove an agent assignment, the agent managed computers are not monitored by the management group. The state of these computers changes to critical, because the computers no longer send heartbeats to the management group. You can remove these computers from the management group and, if the computer is not assigned to other management groups, you can uninstall the System Center - Operations Manager agent.

Examples

Example 1: Remove an agent assignment by using the primary server

PS C:\>Get-SCOMManagementServer "OMServer01*" | Get-SCOMADAgentAssignment | Remove-SCOMADAgentAssignment

This command removes all AD DS agent assignments for a primary management server. The command uses the Get-SCOMManagementServer cmdlet to get the management server named OMServer01, and passes the result to the Get-SCOMADAgentAssignment cmdlet by using the pipeline operator.

The command gets all AD DS agent assignments that have the primary server named OMServer01, and passes the results to the Remove-SCOMADAgentAssignment cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The command removes the agent assignments that have the primary server named OMServer01.

Example 2: Remove an agent assignment by using the domain

PS C:\>Get-SCOMADAgentAssignment -Domain "contoso.com" | Remove-SCOMADAgentAssignment

This command gets all AD DS agent assignments for a domain. The command uses the Get-SCOMADAgentAssignment cmdlet to get the AD DS agent assignment named contoso.com, and passes the result to the Remove-SCOMADAgentAssignment cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The command cmdlet removes the AD DS agent assignments for the domain named contoso.com.
