Disable-CsComputer
Disables a service or server role that has been removed from a computer running Skype for Business Server. This cmdlet was introduced in Lync Server 2010.
Syntax
Disable-CsComputer
[-Scorch]
[-GlobalCatalog <Fqdn>]
[-Report <String>]
[-Force]
[-WhatIf]
[-Confirm]
[-GlobalSettingsDomainController <Fqdn>]
[<CommonParameters>] Description
Removing a service or server role from a computer does not automatically update the Skype for Business Server topology. Instead, that service or role must be disabled before the changes are fully updated in the topology. The Disable-CsComputer cmdlet provides a way for administrators to disable any services or server roles that have been removed from the local computer.
Unless you use the Scorch parameter, the Disable-CsComputer cmdlet does not uninstall the Skype for Business Server software; instead, it simply stops the computer from functioning in its previously assigned role.
You must be a local administrator and a member of the domain in order to run the Disable-CsComputer cmdlet locally.
Examples
-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------
Disable-CsComputerThe command shown in Example 1 disables the local computer.
-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------
Disable-CsComputer -Report C:\Logs\Disable.htmlThe command shown in Examples 2 also disables the local computer. In addition to disabling the computer, however, this command records information about the success (or failure) of that task in the file C:\Logs\Disable.html. This log file is generated by adding the Report parameter followed by the path to the log file where you want the information recorded.
