ByName

Remove-CMDuplicateHardwareIdMacAddress

Description

Use this cmdlet to remove duplicate hardware identifiers by MAC address. Configuration Manager ignores these MAC addresses for PXE boot and client registration. For more information, see Manage duplicate hardware identifiers.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Specify an explicit MAC to remove

This example removes a hardware identifier for the specified MAC address.

Remove-CMDuplicateHardwareIdMacAddress -MacAddress '01:02:03:04:05:E0'

Example 2: Remove an ID for an input object

This example removes a hardware identifier for an input object myMacAddress.

$myMacAddress ='01:02:03:04:05:E0'
Remove-CMDuplicateHardwareIdMacAddress -InputObject $myMacAddress

Parameters

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
