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.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-Force

Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.

-GlobalMapping

Removes an SMB global mapping to an SMB share.

-InputObject (required)

Specifies the input object that's used in a pipeline command.

-LocalPath

Specifies an array of the local paths associated with the SMB mappings that this cmdlet removes.

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you're working. By default, this cmdlet doesn't generate any output.

-RemotePath

Specifies an array of the remote paths of the SMB shares associated with the mappings that this cmdlet removes.

-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.

-UpdateProfile

Indicates that the mapping is removed persistently. The mapping isn't re-established when the computer restarts. If you specify this parameter and the mapping is persistent, the mapping is removed persistently. The mapping isn't re-established when the computer restarts.

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet isn't run.

Prerequisites

Windows with the SmbShare 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.
