I'm trying to create a script to delete computers from deployment servers (ds) that were decommissioned. I think I can use the below curl command to delete form the deployment server, but how can I get the GUID of a server with host name?

Example: I need to get GUID of a server xyz that I want to delete form DS, once i get the GUID, i can use the deployment/server/clients end point to delete.

curl -k -u admin:pass --request DELETE https://localhost:8089/services/deployment/server/clients/
