Detailed Description

Installing the required software does not automatically cause a computer to adopt a new service role; instead, that computer must be enabled before it actually begins to function in its new role. The Enable-CsComputer cmdlet provides a way for administrators to enable newly updated services or server roles on the local computer.

Who can run this cmdlet: You must be a local administrator and a member of the domain in order to run the Enable-CsComputer cmdlet locally.
