My current Hyper-V lab includes a VMM server and a Hyper-V host. The VMM server used to manage another Hyper-V host which no longer exists. It appears as offline in the VMM console, which is a bit painful because I\u2019ll be doing some demos with this machine in the coming months. I\u2019d like it to be a bit cleaner. Try to remove the missing host and I am asked for credentials and then I get this failure:<\/p>\n
Error (406) Recommended Action It seems like VMM wants to verify the credentials with the missing <\/em>machine before removing it. Catch-22! You can use PowerShell to overcome this. You\u2019ll start out by running PowerShell from the VMM program group in the Start menu (or by adding the VMM module into a normal PowerShell window or script). Then you connect to the VMM server:<\/p>\n get-vmmserver <Vmm_Server_Name><\/p>\n You can forcibly remove the missing host server by running:<\/p>\n remove-vmhost <Host_Server_Name> \u2013force<\/p>\n Wait a few seconds and you\u2019ll have a nice and clean VMM console once again.<\/p>\n My current Hyper-V lab includes a VMM server and a Hyper-V host.
