Hello!

There are three variants of using this command:
1. Remove-VBOEntityData -Repository <VBORepository> -User <VBOUserData> [-Mailbox <SwitchParameter>] [-ArchiveMailbox <SwitchParameter>] [-OneDrive <SwitchParameter>] [-Sites <SwitchParameter>] [-WhatIf <SwitchParameter>] [-Confirm <SwitchParameter>] [<CommonParameters>]
2. Remove-VBOEntityData -Repository <VBORepository> -Group <VBOGroupData> [-Mailbox <SwitchParameter>] [-ArchiveMailbox <SwitchParameter>] [-OneDrive <SwitchParameter>] [-Sites <SwitchParameter>] [-GroupMailbox <SwitchParameter>] [-GroupSite <SwitchParameter>] [-WhatIf <SwitchParameter>] [-Confirm <SwitchParameter>] [<CommonParameters>]
3. Remove-VBOEntityData -Repository <VBORepository> -Site <VBOSiteData> [-WhatIf <SwitchParameter>] [-Confirm <SwitchParameter>] [<CommonParameters>]

You tried to use the first one.

The message you received indicates that there is an array in $User. This is incorrect in terms of the syntax of the command.

Can you show what Get-VBOEntityData -Type User -Repository $repository -Name "Jesper Hagstrøm" returns?

PS C:\Users\admin-rv> $repository = Get-VBORepository -Name "Office365-Email-Backup"
PS C:\Users\admin-rv> Get-VBOEntityData -Type User -Repository $repository -Name "Jesper Hagstrøm"

Thank you.This is exactly what I meant. The command returns two objects. For this reason we get a type conversion error. In this situation you should process each object separately. For example you can write

$user = Get-VBOEntityData -Type User -Repository $repository -Name "<name or part of name with wildcard >"
foreach($u in $user){
Remove-VBOEntityData -Repository $repository -User $u -Mailbox -ArchiveMailbox -OneDrive -Sites -WhatIf
}

This will work with one or more objects.
But make sure that you do not have two users with the same name and different emails when you use filtering by name.

[Robvil]

Thank yoy, i´ll try.

But why does it original return 2 objects?

[Robvil]

Running the command with the <-WhatIf> parameter works:

What if: Performing the operation "Remove" on target "Jesper Hagstrøm".
What if: Performing the operation "Remove" on target "Jesper Hagstrøm".

But when removing the -WhatIf parameter throughs an error:

Remove-VBOEntityData : Organization does not exist: 3e7fc064-ab0f-42f4-9cc7-634534098e2e.

The answer to the first question is most likely in the history of using VBO.
Did you reinstall or upgrade VBO on this server?

Inability to remove a user, when an organization has already been removed - it is a bug. Now i am trying to reproduce it and find a solution.

[Robvil]

it´s a upgrade from 1.5. org. has never been removed.

Robert,

That's a bit confusing given that previously you shared the following:

Code: Select all

Remove-VBOEntityData : Organization does not exist: 3e7fc064-ab0f-42f4-9cc7-634534098e2e.

I know that there have been probably too many calls with support for you recently, but, again, this would be the most efficient way to investigate the issue.
Let me also note that thanks to your question we found a bug that will now be fixed.

Think that message was caused by wrong powershell values by me, maybe ... or not. Can´t remember now...
