Examples
Example 1: Delete a VMGroup piped from the getter
PS> Get-XenVMGroup -Name "Demo VMGroup" | Remove-XenVMGroup
Deletes a VMGroup. The object is piped in, which is the usual way once you already have it.
Example 2: Delete a VMGroup by name
PS> Remove-XenVMGroup -Name "Demo VMGroup"
Deletes a VMGroup. -Name matches on name\_label, which is not unique, so every match is operated on.
Example 3: See what would be deleted
PS> Get-XenVMGroup -Name "Demo VMGroup" | Remove-XenVMGroup -WhatIf
Reports the VMGroup that would be deleted without deleting anything. Every cmdlet that changes the server takes -WhatIf and -Confirm.
