You can
You can remove one or more Hybrid Runbook Workers from a group or you can remove the group, depending on your requirements. To remove a Hybrid Runbook Worker from an on-premises computer, perform the following steps.
- In the Azure portal, navigate to your Automation account.
- From the Settings blade, select Keys and note the values for field URL and Primary Access Key. You need this information for the next step.
- Open a PowerShell session in Administrator mode and run the following command -
Remove-HybridRunbookWorker -url <URL> -key <PrimaryAccessKey>. Use the -Verbose switch for a detailed log of the removal process.
Note
This does not remove the Microsoft Monitoring Agent from the computer, only the functionality and configuration of the Hybrid Runbook Worker role.
To remove a group, you first need to remove the Hybrid Runbook Worker from every computer that is a member of the group using the procedure shown earlier, and then you perform the following steps to remove the group.
- Open the Automation account in the Azure portal.
- Select the Hybrid Worker Groups tile and in the Hybrid Worker Groups blade, select the group you wish to delete. After selecting the specific group, the Hybrid worker group properties blade is displayed.
- On the properties blade for the selected group, click Delete. A message appears asking you to confirm this action, select Yes if you are sure you want to proceed.
This process can take several seconds to complete and you can track its progress under Notifications from the menu.
- Review run runbooks on a Hybrid Runbook Worker to learn how to configure your runbooks to automate processes in your on-premises datacenter or other cloud environment.
