Description

The listed BES Clients were set to lock themselves because they were unable to find an nearby BES Relay because ICMP was blocked (see Fixlet message #139 for more information).

However, the BES Clients are no longer in this state either because they are now able to find a BES Relay or they are using manual BES Relay selection. Click below if you would like to unlock these BES Clients.

Note: You should verify that the BES Relays the BES Clients are using are appropriate before unlocking the BES Clients to avoid potentially unlocking computers reporting to the wrong BES Relay.
