NMDS_DELETE
Note
Please note the:
Nomad PBA Task Sequence steps are not designed for use with offline USMT or WinPE
-NMDS_POLL command-line option for the NomadPackageLocator.exe tool cannot be used in WinPE
-NMDS_<command> command-line options for NomadBranch.exe have not been tested in WinPE, so their behavior may be unpredictable in that environment.
The NMDS_DELETE argument is available on the NomadPackageLocator.exe (recommended) or NomadBranch.exe service argument-line. When run, it deletes the share, contents and user associated with the shared cache. It is only for use in a task sequence.
It takes the following format:
NomadPackageLocator.exe -NMDS_DELETE,<name>
or
NomadBranch.exe -NMDS_DELETE,<name>
Using the following parameter:
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
<name> | Used to identify the shared cache and should be the same as the one used in the NMDS_POLL argument that initially requested the share, i.e. the value of task sequence variable %PBAComputerName%. This may be up to 40 characters, consisting of 0-9 and A-Z characters, and is case-insensitive. |
Note
If you have run NMDS_COMPLETE, run NMDS_FIND prior to NMDS_DELETE otherwise errors will be generated.
NMDS_DELETE is not essential because a share is automatically deleted after a period of time determined in PostCompleteTimeoutHours, but it is good practice to use it in order to release resources.
Task sequence environment variables
NMDS_DELETE does not use any task sequence environment variables.
