For more information, see about_Aliases. Remove-PSSnapin does not check the version of Windows PowerShell before removing a snap-in from the session. If a snap-in cannot be removed, a warning appears and the command fails. Remove-PSSnapin affects only the current session. If you have added an Add-PSSnapin command to your Windows PowerShell profile, you should delete the command to remove the snap-in from future sessions. For instructions, see about_Profiles.Examples
EXAMPLE 1C:\PS>remove-pssnapin -name Microsoft.ExchangeDescription----------- This command removes the Microsoft.Exchange snap-in from the current session. When the command is complete, the cmdlets and providers that the snap-in supported are not available in the session.EXAMPLE 2C:\PS>get-PSSnapIn smp* | remove-PSSnapInDescription----------- This command removes the Windows PowerShell snap-ins that have names beginning with "smp" from the current session. The command uses the Get-PSSnapin cmdlet to get objects representing the snap-ins. The pipeline operator (|) sends the results to the Remove-PSSnapin cmdlet, which removes them from the session. The providers and cmdlets that this snap-in supports are no longer available in the session. When you pipe objects to Remove-PSSnapin, the names of the objects are associated with the Name parameter, which accepts objects from the pipeline that have a Name property.EXAMPLE 3C:\PS>remove-pssnapin -name *event*Description----------- This command removes all Windows PowerShell snap-ins that have names that include "event". This command specifies the "Name" parameter name, but the parameter name can be omitted because it is optional.
