Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

The Identity parameter uniquely identifies the specific device partnership to be removed.

Confirm

The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.

DomainController

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.
