To obtain the object, use the Get-RASVDIHost cmdlet. ``` Required? true Position? 0 Default value Accept pipeline input? true (ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## NoUninstall (SwitchParameter) If this parameter is included, the VDI Host agent will not be uninstalled from the server. To uninstall the agent, omit this parameter. When uninstalling the agent, your RAS admin credentials will be used by default. You can specify different credentials if needed using the Username and Password parameters. ``` Required? false Position? named Default value False Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## Username (string) An administrator account to remotely uninstall the RAS Guest Agent from the VM. If this parameter is omitted, your RAS admin username and password will be used by default. ``` Required? true Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## Password (SecureString) The password of the account specified in the Username parameter. ``` Required? true Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` (CommonParameters) ``` This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable, OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters documentation. ``` ## INPUTS [VDIHost](/landing/ras-powershell-api-guide/parallels-ras-powershell-admin-module/types/vdihost.md) ## OUTPUTS -none- **---------- EXAMPLE 1 ----------** Remove-RASVDIHost -ProviderId 3 -Id 42311235-09c5-ca15-337d-b9723015edf0 Removes the RAS Guest Agent from a VM specified by Provider ID and the VM Id. The agent will be remotely uninstalled from the server using the specified credentials.\ **---------- EXAMPLE 2 ----------** Remove-RASVDIHost $VDIHost -NoUninstall Removes RAS Guest Agent from a VM specified by the $VDIHost variable, which is an object of type VDIHost. The object is obtained using the Get-RASVDIHost cmdlet. The RAS Guest Agent will not be uninstalled from the server.\ **---------- EXAMPLE 3 ----------** Get-RASVDIHost -ProviderId 3 -Id 42311235-09c5-ca15-337d-b9723015edf0 | Remove-RASVDIHost Removes the RAS Guest Agent from a VM represented by a VDIHost object obtained from the pipeline output. The agent will be remotely uninstalled from the VM using the specified credentials. ## RELATED LINKS * [Add-RASVDIHostPoolMember](/landing/ras-powershell-api-guide/parallels-ras-powershell-admin-module/commands/add-rasvdihostpoolmember.md) * [New-RASTemplate](/landing/ras-powershell-api-guide/parallels-ras-powershell-admin-module/commands/new-rastemplate.md) * [Get-RASVDIHost](/landing/ras-powershell-api-guide/parallels-ras-powershell-admin-module/commands/get-rasvdihost.md) * [Invoke-RASVDIHost](/landing/ras-powershell-api-guide/parallels-ras-powershell-admin-module/commands/invoke-rasvdihost.md) * [Get-RASVDIHostStatus](/landing/ras-powershell-api-guide/parallels-ras-powershell-admin-module/commands/get-rasvdihoststatus.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-powershell-api-guide/parallels-ras-powershell-admin-module/commands/remove-rasvdihost.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
