Delete Machine Catalog via Powershell

[Christopher Schatz]

I am writing a script to delete machine Catalogs and delivery groups.

Whenever I send the command Remove-ProvScheme -ProvisioningSchemeName XXX I get an error saying "Unable to remove the provisioning scheme due to associated virtual machines remaining."

 

Everything else is deleted with the other remove commands. The machine catalog is not visable in the GUI any more.

What command am I missing to delete the associated virtual machines?

 

 

EDIT:

 

When i run the command "Get-ProvVM -ProvisioningSchemeUid XXX |Remove-ProvVM" I get a few outputs. The Taskstate is "FinishedWithErrors". Maybe this is the reason?

Where can I see what kind of error is this?

Yes, and I provided an example of my notes.

 

Remove-AcctADAccount

Remove-AcctIdentityPool

Remove-BrokerDesktopGroup

Remove-BrokerCatalog

 

Unlock-AcctADAccount -ADAccountSid S-1-5-21-4246103433-227228850-1655860863-20840

Get-AcctADAccount -ADAccountSid "S-1-5-21-317694002-3844878815-1658337075-16607" -IdentityPoolName "ITTEST" | Remove-AcctADAccount -force

Get-AcctIdentityPool -IdentityPoolName "ittest" |Remove-AcctIdentityPool

Get-ProvScheme -ProvisioningSchemeName "ITTEST"|Remove-ProvScheme -ForgetVM

Try checking to see if you have "Get-AcctIdentityPool" & "Get-AcctADAAccount" associated.

[Christopher Schatz]

Get-AcctIdentityPool is there.

Get-AcctADAccountis not there.

 

 

Is there a certain order i need to run the remove commands?

I run the "Remove-ProvScheme" and the "Remove-ProvVM" command after I run:

 

Remove-BrokerDesktopGroup

Remove-BrokerCatalog

Remove-AcctADAccount

Remove-AcctIdentityPool (which did not work, as it seems)

 

[Christopher Schatz]

so as i understand there should be no need to use "Remove-ProvVM", when I used this order and everything works fine, right?

 

 

Is there a solution how to delete the ProvVms and the ProvScheme?

I created the Machine Catalog again with the same name. But I only see 1 VM.

When I do a Get-ProvVM -ProvisioningSchemeName XXX i see like 10 VMs.

[Donovan Linton1709152286]

Actually, Yes the steps I listed the VM's had already been removed. 

[Christopher Schatz]

OK great!

So how can I now remove the ProvScheme which gives me the error as described above?

[Christopher Schatz]

So I only changed the order of my commands and it deleted everything without any errors. Thank you!
