Detailed Description

Provides the ability to remove an image version and its relevant hard disk image that has been prepared to provision virtual machines.

A background task will be created to remove the old hard disk copies. You can locate and monitor this task using the Get-ProvTask cmdlet.

Parameters

Name Description Required? Pipeline Input Default Value
PreparedImageDefinitionName The name of image definition which the image version belongs to. true true (ByPropertyName)
PreparedImageVersionNumber The version number of image version. true true (ByPropertyName)
PreparedImageVersionUid The identifier of image version. true true (ByPropertyName)
PurgeDBOnly If this option is specified, this command will only remove the image version data from the Citrix site database. However, the disk images created in the image version still remain in the hypervisor. The hypervisor administrator can remove hard disk images using the tools provided by the hypervisor itself. This option can also be used when you are no longer able to contact the hypervisor and you want to remove the image version from Citrix site database. This parameter cannot be used with "ForgetVM". false false
ForgetVM If this option is specified, this command will remove the image version data from the Citrix site database and also delete Citrix-assigned identifiers(like tags or custom-attributes) on image version's disk images from hypervisor. However, the disk images created in the image version still remain in the hypervisor after removing identifiers(like tags or custom-attributes). The hypervisor administrator can remove the disk images using the tools provided by the hypervisor itself. This parameter cannot be used with "PurgeDBOnly". false false
RunAsynchronously Indicates whether the command returns before it completes. If this is specified, the command returns an identifier for the task that was created. This task can be monitored using the get-ProvTask command. false false false
PurgeJobOnSuccess Indicates that the task history is removed from the database when the task completes. This cannot be specified for tasks that run asynchronously. false false
LoggingId Specifies the identifier of the high-level operation this cmdlet call forms a part of. Citrix Studio and Director typically create high-level operations. PowerShell scripts can also wrap a series of cmdlet calls in a high-level operation by way of the Start-LogHighLevelOperation and Stop-LogHighLevelOperation cmdlets. false false
BearerToken Specifies the bearer token assigned to the calling user false false
AdminClientIP Specifies the Client IP of the calling user false false
TraceParent Specifies the trace parent assigned for internal diagnostic tracing use false false
TraceState Specifies the trace state assigned for internal diagnostic tracing user false false
VirtualSiteId Specifies the virtual site the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. false false
AdminAddress The address of a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops controller the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. You can provide this as a host name or an IP address. false false Localhost. Once a value is provided by any cmdlet, this value becomes the default.

Input Type

Citrix.Machinecreation.Sdk.Imageversion
