Examples


-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------

C:\PS>Remove-GPO -guid 50cc3e45-0b14-46dd-8b4d-afa012bc331c -Domain contoso.com -KeepLinks



Description

-----------

Removes the GPO that has the GUID 50cc3e45-0b14-46dd-8b4d-afa012bc331c from the contoso.com domain. Because the KeepLinks parameter is specified, links between the GPO and
all sites, and links between the GPO and all containers in the domain are preserved.




-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------

C:\PS>Remove-GPO -Name TestGPO



Description

-----------

Removes the "TestGPO" GPO from the domain of the user that is running the session (or, for startup and shutdown scripts, the domain of the computer). Because the KeepLinks
parameter is not specified, links between the GPO and all sites, and links between the GPO and all containers in the domain are deleted.
