Removing or disconnecting unused VM hardware from running VM ?
Hi People,
When I execute the following wonderful script from Alan Renouf
I noticed that there are quite a few around 25% of my VMs got Unwanted virtual hardware found "USB controller"?
so how can I safely remove it without affecting the underlying Virtual Machine operations ?
is it safe to be done over the business hours ?

Does it cause any downtime or outage to the Windows Server ?
