Example 1

The command shown in Example 1 removes the centralized logging region that has the Identity global/US.

	Copy Code
Remove-CsClsRegion -Identity "global/US"

Example 2

In Example 2, all the centralized logging regions configured at the global scope are removed. To do this, the command first calls the Get-CsClsRegion cmdlet along with the Filter parameter; the filter value "global/*" limits the returned data to regions configured at the global scope. These regions are then piped to, and deleted by, the Remove-CsClsRegion cmdlet.

	Copy Code
Get-CsClsRegion -Filter "global/*" | Remove-CsClsRegion

Example 3

Example 3 deletes all the centralized logging regions that have the security group suffix EMEA. To carry out this task, the command first calls the Get-CsClsRegion cmdlet without any parameters; this returns a collection of all the centralized logging regions configured for use in the organization. This collection is then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which picks out only those regions where the SecurityGroupSuffix property is equal to (-eq) EMEA. That subcollection of regions is then piped to the Remove-CsClsRegion cmdlet, which deletes each region in the subcollection.

	Copy Code
Get-CsClsRegion | Where-Object {$_.SecurityGroupSuffix -eq "EMEA" | Remove-CsClsRegion

The centralized logging service (which replaces the OCSLogger and OCSTracer tools used in Microsoft Lync Server 2010) provides a way for administrators to manage logging and tracing for all computers and pools running Lync Online. Centralized logging enables administrators to stop, start, and configure logging for one or more pools and computers by using a single command; for example, you can use one command to enable Address Book service logging on all your Address Book servers. This differs from the OCSLogger and OCSTracer tools, which had to be individually managed (including individually stopped and started) on each server. In addition, the centralized logging service also provides a way for administrators to search trace logs from the command, using the Windows PowerShell command-line interface and the Search-CsClsLogging cmdlet.

With Lync Online, regions are used to determine which users have access to the personally-identifiable information that is written to the log files. Regions are created by using the New-CsClsRegion cmdlet and then are added to a collection of centralized logging configuration settings. Regions added to one of these collections can later be removed by using the Remove-CsClsRegion cmdlet.

To return a list of all the role-based access control (RBAC) roles this cmdlet has been assigned to (including any custom RBAC roles you have created yourself), run the following command from the Windows PowerShell prompt:

Get-CsAdminRole | Where-Object {$_.Cmdlets –match "Remove-CsClsRegion"}

Lync Server Control Panel: The functions carried out by the Remove-CsClsRegion cmdlet are not available in the Lync Server Control Panel.

The Remove-CsClsRegion cmdlet accepts pipelined instances of the Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.CentralizedLogging.Region#Decorated object.

None. Instead, the Remove-CsClsRegion cmdlet deletes existing instances of the Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.CentralizedLogging.Region#Decorated object.
