Removes an external RADIUS server from being used for VPN authentication, accounting for both DirectAccess (DA) and VPN, or one-time password (OTP) authentication for DA.
Microsoft RemoteAccess reference: Removes an external RADIUS server from being used for VPN authentication, accounting for both DirectAccess (DA) and VPN, or one-time password (OTP) authentication for DA. The syntax and selected example below are adapted from the pinned Windows Server 2025 reference. Module availability, target configuration and delegated permissions determine whether it can run in your environment. Documentation and parameter text: Microsoft, CC BY 4.0; formatting adapted by Cmdlet World. No execution testing is claimed.
Use an account with the target resource permissions documented for Remove-RemoteAccessRadius. Modifying administrative cmdlets may require elevation or delegated administration. This catalog does not assert that ordinary users can execute the command.

Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
-ComputerName
Specifies the IPv4 or IPv6 address, or host name, of the computer on which the Remote Access server computer specific tasks should be run. If this parameter is specified when removing a RADIUS server for authentication, then it is removed for the VPN server represented by this parameter.
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
-EntrypointName
Specifies a site in a multi-site deployment. It is applicable only to RADIUS server configuration for VPN authentication. It is not applicable to RADIUS accounting and OTP. When the parameter is specified it indicates that the Radius server for VPN authentication should be removed for that site. If this parameter is not specified in a multi-site deployment, then this parameter value on which the cmdlet is run is used. The server could also be represented by using the ComputerName parameter. If this parameter and ComputerName are specified and the ComputerName does not belong to the site represented by this parameter, then this parameter takes precedence and the RADIUS server is removed from it.
-PassThru
Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
-Purpose (required)
Specifies the purpose for which the external RADIUS server is being removed. The acceptable values for this parameter are: -- Authentication. -- Accounting. -- Otp.
-ServerName (required)
Specifies the IPv4 or IPv6 address, or host name, of the external RADIUS server that needs to be removed.
-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Prerequisites
Windows with the RemoteAccess module and the Windows feature or management tools that provide it. Confirm target connectivity and version compatibility using the linked Microsoft reference.
Security considerations
This cmdlet changes system state. Review every target and parameter in the official reference, test outside production, and prepare an appropriate backup or rollback. Do not execute the example automatically.
This example removes a RADIUS server from being used for authentication. The RADIUS server named 10.1.1.1 is being used for both authentication and accounting. This cmdlet removes the server from being used for authentication. Source: Microsoft, CC BY 4.0; transcript prompt/output removed. This example was not executed.
