Description

This cmdlet is only available on the Windows platform.

The Remove-CimSession cmdlet removes one or more CIM session objects from the local PowerShell session.

Examples

Example 1: Remove all the CIM sessions

This example retrieves all the available CIM sessions on the local computer using the Get-CimSession cmdlet, and then removes them using the Remove-CimSession.

Get-CimSession | Remove-CimSession

Example 2: Remove a specific CIM session

This example removes the CIM session that has an Id value of 5.

Remove-CimSession -Id 5

Example 3: Show the list of CIM sessions to remove by using the WhatIf parameter

This example uses the common parameter WhatIf to specify that the removal should not be done, but only output what would happen if it were done.

Remove-CimSession -Name a* -WhatIf

Parameters

Enter a variable that contains the CIM session, or a command that creates or gets the CIM session, such as the New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlets. For more information, see about_CimSessions.
