Detailed Description

The Unblock-CMDevice cmdlet unblocks one or more Microsoft System Center 2012 SP1 Configuration Manager client devices. You must unblock a device from the client's assigned site. You cannot unblock the device from sites higher in the hierarchy.

If you unblock an Intel Active Management Technology (Intel 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 Configuration Manager, see Determine Whether to Block Clients in Configuration Manager (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=271116) on TechNet.
