Remove a machine from a Pool, but not delete it. about powercli-example-scripts HOT 8 CLOSED

Right or Wrong, but I modified the psm1 file. On line #10147 ($deleteSpec.DeleteFromDisk = $true) I changed the $true to $false and tested it. The desktop was removed from Horizon View, but not from vCenter. Maybe a modification of the Remove-HVMachine cmdlet is coming to allow us to use an argument to the function to determine if the machine is removed and deleted or just removed.

I can look into adding an argument as suggested by @gpeck29.

Maybe I'll have:

Remove from Horizon View but not delete the machine:

Remove-HVMachine -noDelete

@jrodsguitar The Remove-HVPool already has this parameter, maybe look at it and implement the same way.

Added -DeleteFromDisk to Remove-HVMachine in #222

Defaulted to $true so to not remove the machine from vSphere you would set it to false Remove-HVMachine -MachineName 'VMName01' -DeleteFromDisk:$false
