There are a few computers in the WSE dashboard that I can't remove from the dashboard. I found a Microsoft article showing how to do this using Powershell (
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn205092(v=wps.630).aspx). I must be missing something, because when I run the first of the two commands (
$DeviceList = Get-WssComputer), I don't get any output I can use for the second command that removes the computer - I just get another command prompt. The second command that removes the computer is-
Remove-WssComputer -Computer $DeviceList[0] -RemoveBackup
Can someone clarify usage of these Powershell commands for me? I'm assuming that the [0] after $DeviceList in the second command is the info I need to enter, that comes from the output of the first command.
Remove-WssComputer -Computer $DeviceList[0] -RemoveBackup
the second line removes the first computer in the list you received and stored in $deviceList variable since you are using $DeviceList[0]
to remove the second device use $DeviceList[1]
similarly use $DeviceList[2] , $DeviceList[3] etc
alternatively run this to show how many devices you found:
$DeviceList = Get-WssComputer
$DeviceList
to remove all devices found, use:
Get-WssComputer | Remove-WssComputer -RemoveBackup
