Unlock a Locked Object in SCCM

Sometimes, when you are working on a task sequence or application in SCCM, your console will crash. Well, the object you were working on will stay locked for 30 minutes. If you can’t wait that long, you can remove the lock with a SQL query.

To find the LockStateID, run this query:

select * from SEDO_LockState where LockStateID <> 0

Find the LockStateID that corresponds to the object you were modifying. You can most easily do this by finding the object with your username. Once you have the LockStateID, place it between the single quotes in this query:

delete from SEDO_LockState where LockID = ‘<LockID of the record identified in the previous query>’
