Power Shell Question - Disable Pool Member

Hello -

I'm running a power shell script that enables / disables a pool member. It is from the example scripts out her on DevCentral.

I have a question / issue. I want to force a node off line - not just disable it. In researching this, it seems as though if the SessionState is "State_Disabled" and the MonitorState is "State_Disabled" that it should infact force the node offline. When I call the function to do this, it appears that the member is only "disabled" and not forced offline. Can someone review the below function and see if I'm doing this correctly or how I can fix this?

Thanks!!

Chris
