Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
/Namespace:<Namespace name> |
Specifies the name of the namespace. This is not the friendly name, and it must be unique.
|
[/Server:<Server name>] |
Specifies the name of the server. This can be the NetBIOS name or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN). If no server name is specified, the local server is used. |
[/Force] |
Removes the namespace immediately and terminates all clients. Note that unless you specify /Force, existing clients can complete the transfer, but new clients are not able to join. |
Examples
To stop a namespace (current clients can complete the transfer but new clients are not able to join), type:
WDSUTIL /Remove-Namespace /Namespace:"Custom Auto 1"
To force termination of all clients, type:
WDSUTIL /Remove-Namespace /Server:MyWDSServer /Namespace:"Custom Auto 1" /Force
