The Remove-CMDevice cmdlet removes one or more Configuration Manager client devices.
Do not remove a client if you want to uninstall the client or remove it from a collection.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
This command gets the device object named TestVLAN-VNEXT and uses the pipeline operator to pass the object to Remove-CMDevice, which removes the device object.
