Detailed Description

The Unlock-CMObject cmdlet releases locks of one or more objects in Microsoft System Center 2012 SP1 Configuration Manager. You can use the InputObject parameter to specify the input to this cmdlet, or you can pipe the input to this cmdlet.

Serialized Editing of Distributed Objects (SEDO) in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager provide a mechanism for assigning and unassigning locks to global System Center 2012 Configuration Manager objects in the context of a site, computer and user. If you want to edit and save a SEDO-enabled object, you must lock the object. When you obtain the lock, the lock is assigned to you, your computer and the site in which the computer resides. While the lock is assigned to you, no other user or computer can edit the object until you release the lock.
