Question

I have a server, server5, no longer accessible. The problem is that it is still added to the distributed cache, even though it was removed from the farm.

How can I specify what server name I want to be removed when I run Remove-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance. NOTE I have not run the command due to being afraid of removing local box instead of removing box no longer running.

Was it helpful?

Solution

I ended up running the command,

 Remove-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance

which did remove the local server from the cache. I ended up following a guide and creating a new search topology which was not ideal but was the only way to resolve the issue.
