<div>
what is GC in this command and is this i need to run in powershell with txt having all device id information ?<br />
<br />
GC C:\input.txt | %{Remove-MobileDevice -Identity $_ -Confirm:$false}
</div>


<div>
You need to run the command EMS (Exchange Management Shell).<br />
<br />
<b>GC</b> is the alias for <b>Get-Content</b>, which reads the input details from text file C:\input.txt. The input file should have the device ID's listed in following format.<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41839620-1"><span>MobiledeviceID1</span>
<span>MobiledeviceID2</span>
<span>MobiledeviceID3</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
is it required to be in 1, 2 , 3 format<br />
or i can put it straight in txt file just all device id
</div>


<div>
Yes, You can put all device ID's in text file (one device ID per line), it needs not to be in particular order.. I just posted an example.. If you are still confused, post a sample of your input file.
</div>


<div>
this is i have put in text file<br />
<br />
<br />
GUID<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
ApplDQVFW2TSDKPH<br />
ApplDQVK8GH5F193
</div>


<div>
Remove header information 
<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41839658-1"><span>GUID</span>
<span></span>
<span> ----</span>
</code></pre>
 Just keep device ID's in input file<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41839658-2"><span>ApplDQVFW2TSDKPH</span>
<span>ApplDQVK8GH5F193</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
i am getting error below<br />
<br />
The mobile device ApplDQVFW2TSDKPH cannot be found.
</div>


<div>
can i give GUID in place of Device id ??<br />
<br />
i mean it will cause any issue. because first i am testing on two user, then i need to do on 500 users
</div>


<div>
when i run the same with mentioned GUID of devices, it successfully run<br />
<br />
so it is correct or we need to mention Device id only
</div>


<div>
means GUID will be different for every one, for every device..right
</div>


<div>
also i want before removing it will ask for confirm
</div>


<div>
If you want command to ask for confirmation on each device, then remove <b>-Confirm:$false</b> from code.
</div>


<div>
Thanks Subsun for Great support
</div>


<div>
if we remove &nbsp;-Confirm:$false &nbsp;from command .. so it would be below.. please confirm<br />
<br />
GC &quot;c:\My Documents\StaleActiveSyncD<wbr />evices\dev<wbr />icelist.cs<wbr />v&quot; | %{Remove-MobileDevice -Identity $_}
</div>


<div>
Yes, that's correct.. and input file should be in same format which I explained earlier..
</div>


<div>
Hello,<br />
<br />
Please suggest, if this command is also OK and not having any impact for user<br />
<br />
GC &quot;c:\My Documents\StaleActiveSyncD<wbr />evices\dev<wbr />icelist.cs<wbr />v&quot; | Get-MobileDevice | Remove-MobileDevice<br />
<br />
i ran this and found no issue.. so this is OK ?<br />
<br />
Thanks
</div>


<div>
Yes, it will work but might be slower..<br />
Directly pipe the GC result to Remove-MobileDevice, it should work bit faster..<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41839888-1"><span>GC &quot;c:\My Documents\StaleActiveSyncDevices\devicelist.csv&quot; | Remove-MobileDevice</span>
</code></pre>
