      [-ComputerName <String>]
      [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]

Description

The Remove-DhcpServerv4Scope cmdlet deletes the specified IPv4 scopes from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server service.

Examples

Example 1: Delete scopes

PS C:\> Remove-DhcpServerv4Scope -ComputerName "dhcpserver.contoso.com" -ScopeId 10.10.10.0, 10.20.20.0

This example deletes the specified scopes from the DHCP server service.

Example 2: Delete scopes without confirmation

PS C:\> Remove-DhcpServerv4Scope -ComputerName "dhcpserver.contoso.com" -ScopeId 10.10.10.0, 10.20.20.0 -Force

This example deletes the specified scopes from the DHCP server service. This cmdlet does not prompt the user for confirmation even if the scopes are active or contain active client leases.

Example 3: Delete all disabled scopes

PS C:\> Get-DhcpServerV4Scope | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.State -Eq "Inactive" } | Remove-DhcpServerv4Scope -Force -Passthru

This example deletes all of the disabled scopes on the DHCP server service. The Get-DhcpServerv4Scope cmdlet returns the scope objects and pipes the scope objects into the Where-Object cmdlet. The Where-Object cmdlet returns the scope objects which are filtered for the state being InActive, or disabled, and pipes the filtered scope objects into this cmdlet, which deletes the disabled scopes passed through the pipeline.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.

Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:CimSession[]
Aliases:Session
Position:Named
Default value:None

-ComputerName

Specifies the DNS name, or IPv4 or IPv6 address, of the target computer that runs the DHCP server service.

Type:String
Aliases:Cn

Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter

-Force

Indicates that this cmdlet deletes a scope even if it contains active leases.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Passthru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ScopeId

Specifies one or more scope identifiers (IDs), in IPv4 address format, to delete.

Type:IPAddress[]
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
