Use the Remove-EdgeSubscription cmdlet to remove Edge Subscription from the Exchange organization and from the subscribed computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed.

Syntax

Remove-EdgeSubscription -Identity <TransportServerIdParameter> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Force <SwitchParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Detailed Description

The Remove-EdgeSubscription cmdlet removes Edge Subscription. After you remove Edge Subscription, synchronization of information from Active Directory to the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) instance stops. All the accounts stored in AD LDS are removed, and the Edge Transport server is removed from the source server list of any Send connector.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "EdgeSync" entry in the Transport Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.TransportServerIdParameter

The Identity parameter specifies the identity of the Edge Transport server for which you want to remove Edge Subscription. The identity is expressed as the host name of the Edge Transport server.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm switch can be used to suppress the confirmation prompt that appears by default when this cmdlet is run. To suppress the confirmation prompt, use the syntax -Confirm:$False. You must include a colon ( : ) in the syntax.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory. The DomainController parameter isn't supported on the Edge Transport server role. The Edge Transport server role writes only to the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) instance.

Force

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Force parameter forces the recipient data that has been replicated to AD LDS be deleted. If omitted, the command will inform you that the removal of the replicated recipient data from AD LDS can take a long time and will give you the option to cancel the operation.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.
