Remove‑SqlDscRSEncryptionKey - dsccommunity/SqlServerDsc GitHub Wiki

Removes the encryption key from SQL Server Reporting Services.

Remove-SqlDscRSEncryptionKey [-Configuration] <Object> [-PassThru] [-Force]
 [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

Removes the encryption key from SQL Server Reporting Services or Power BI Report Server by calling the DeleteEncryptionKey method on the MSReportServer_ConfigurationSetting CIM instance.

This command deletes the current encryption key from the report server.

WARNING: This is a destructive operation. After removing the encryption key, stored credentials and connection strings cannot be decrypted. The report server will need to be re-initialized with a new or restored encryption key.

The configuration CIM instance can be obtained using the Get-SqlDscRSConfiguration command and passed via the pipeline.

Get-SqlDscRSConfiguration -InstanceName 'SSRS' | Remove-SqlDscRSEncryptionKey

Removes the encryption key from the Reporting Services instance.

Get-SqlDscRSConfiguration -InstanceName 'SSRS' | Remove-SqlDscRSEncryptionKey -Force

Removes the encryption key without confirmation.

Get-SqlDscRSConfiguration -InstanceName 'SSRS' | Remove-SqlDscRSEncryptionKey -PassThru

Removes the encryption key and returns the configuration CIM instance.
