Remove-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup

SYNOPSIS

This cmdlet is available only in on-premises Exchange.

Use the Remove-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup cmdlet to delete an empty database availability group (DAG). Before you can delete a DAG, you must first remove all Mailbox servers from the DAG.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

SYNTAX

Remove-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup [-Identity] <DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIdParameter>
 [-Confirm]
 [-DomainController <Fqdn>]
 [-WhatIf]
 [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this article lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you might not have access to some parameters if they aren't included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

Remove-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity DAG1

This example, deletes the DAG DAG1.

PARAMETERS

-Identity

Applicable: Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Server SE

The Identity parameter specifies the name of the DAG to be removed.

Type: DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIdParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: True
Position: 1
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Confirm

Applicable: Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Server SE

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on whether the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding.
