PowerShell 2.0: One Cmdlet at a Time #51 Remove-WSManInstance

Continuing the series looking at new cmdlets available in PowerShell 2.0. This time we look at the Remove-WSManInstance cmdlet.

What can I do with it?

Remove a management resource that has been previously created for use with WS-Management.

Example:

Check for existing HTTPS Listeners. Remove the existing HTTPS listener created with New-WSManInstance . Check again to confirm its removal.

Get-WSManInstance winrm/config/listener
-selectorset @{Address="*";Transport="https"}
Remove-WSManInstance winrm/config/listener 
-SelectorSet @{address="*";transport="https"}
Get-WSManInstance winrm/config/listener 
-selectorset @{Address="*";Transport="https"}

You will notice that you recieve a nasty red error when trying to retrieve it after it has been removed.

How could I have done this in PowerShell 1.0?

Support for the use of WS-Management in PowerShell is provided as part of the 2.0 release.
