Description
The Block-CMConflictingRecord cmdlet blocks a record for a client that has a conflicting record in Configuration Manager.
When Configuration Manager recognizes a new client, it uses hardware information to check whether it previously created a record for that computer. For example, you might have reinstalled the operating system. The previous client record still exists with the same hardware information. If you manually resolve conflicts, you have the option to merge the new record with the existing record, create a new record, or create a record as a blocked record. You can also configure Configuration Manager to resolve conflicts automatically.
You can specify a conflict by using a name or ID or you can use the Get-CMConflictingRecord cmdlet to obtain one.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Create a blocked record for a named conflict
PS XYZ:\>Block-CMConflictingRecord -Name "CR07"
This command creates a blocked record for the conflict named CR07.
Example 2: Create a blocked record by using a variable
PS XYZ:\> $CMCR = Get-CMConflictingRecord -Name "CR07"
PS XYZ:\> Block-CMConflictingRecord -ConflictingRecord $CMCR
The first command gets a conflicting record named CR07 and saves it in the $CMCR variable.
The second command creates a blocked record for the conflict in $CMCR.
