Examples

Example 1: Delete a Caller piped from the getter

PS> Get-XenCaller -Name "Demo Caller" | Remove-XenCaller
Deletes a Caller. The object is piped in, which is the usual way once you already have it.

Example 2: Delete a Caller by name

PS> Remove-XenCaller -Name "Demo Caller"
Deletes a Caller. -Name matches on name\_label, which is not unique, so every match is operated on.

Example 3: See what would be deleted

PS> Get-XenCaller -Name "Demo Caller" | Remove-XenCaller -WhatIf
Reports the Caller that would be deleted without deleting anything. Every cmdlet that changes the server takes -WhatIf and -Confirm.
