NAME Remove-DbaRegServerGroup



SYNOPSIS

Gets list of Server Groups objects stored in SQL Server Central Management Server (CMS).





SYNTAX

Remove-DbaRegServerGroup [[-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]

[[-SqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [[-Name] <System.String[]>] [[-InputObject]

<Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RegisteredServers.ServerGroup[]>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

Returns an array of Server Groups found in the CMS.





PARAMETERS

-EnableException [<Switch>]

By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.



This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables

advanced scripting.



Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own

try/catch.
