Use the Remove-EcpVirtualDirectory cmdlet to remove Exchange Control Panel (ECP) virtual directories located in the Internet Information Services (IIS) website on a server running Exchange. The ECP virtual directory manages the Exchange Administration Center.

Warning:
The ECP is the web-based user interface developed for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. The Exchange Server 2013 Exchange Administration Center cmdlets for virtual directory still use ECP in the name, and the ECP cmdlets can be used to manage Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013 ECP virtual directories.

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

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