Detailed Description
The Start-CMCloudDistributionPoint cmdlet starts distribution of content from a cloud-based distribution point.
In Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you can use a cloud service in Windows Azure to host a distribution point for storing files that enable packages to run on client computers. Users can download and run these files for advertised packages. For more information about cloud distribution points, see Planning for Content Management in Configuration Manager (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=266223).
You can use the Stop-CMCloudDistributionPoint cmdlet to suspend distribution of content.

Examples
Example 1: Start distribution point using an ID
This command starts the cloud distribution point that has the specified identifier.
PS C:\> Start-CMCloudDistributionPoint -ID "16777242"
Example 2: Start distribution point using a name
This command starts the cloud distribution point named West01.
PS C:\> Start-CMCloudDistributionPoint -Name "West01"
Example 3: Start distribution point using an object
This example uses the Get-CMCloudDistributionPoint cmdlet to specify which distribution points to start.
The first command saves the distribution point with the specified identifier in the $DistPnt variable.
The second command starts the distribution point stored in $DistPnt.
PS C:\> $DistPnt = Get-CMCloudDistributionPoint -Id "16777242" PS C:\> Start-CMCloudDistributionPoint -InputObject $DistPnt
