Syntax
Parameter Set: SearchByNameMandatory Block-CMDevice -DeviceName <String[]> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>] Parameter Set: SearchByIdMandatory Block-CMDevice -DeviceId <String[]> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>] Parameter Set: SearchByValueMandatory Block-CMDevice -InputObject <IResultObject> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Block-CMDevice cmdlet blocks one or more client devices. You must block a device from the client's assigned site. You cannot block the device from sites higher in the hierarchy. Blocked devices are ignored by the Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager hierarchy.
Block a device that you no longer trust, to prevent it from receiving client policy and to prevent System Center 2012 Configuration Manager site systems from communicating with it.
If you later change your mind, you can unblock a device that has been blocked. If you unblock an Intel Active Management Technology (AMT)-based computer that you provisioned for AMT when it was blocked, you must take additional steps before you can manage that computer again out-of-band.
For more information about unblocking a client device in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, see the Determine Whether to Block Clients in Configuration Manager topic in the Technet library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=271116.
