Description

This article describes that there are thousands of endpoints managed by EMS.

It is necessary sometimes to plug and unplug some endpoints from management for research and other purposes. 

So, an error like 'Endpoint blocked by EMS' might can occur while trying to reconnect to Endpoint Management Sever.
Scope FortiClient EMS, FortiClient.
Solution

When an administrator manages thousands of endpoints, it is sometimes possible to forget which device is excluded or managed and errors, like blocked by EMS, can occur.

So, to overcome this, filter out the Status of EMS to Excluded.

All the Excluded Enpoints are filtered on the GUI. It is then possible to re-enable for management by selecting 'Action Tab'.

The Endpoints now can be connected to the management server.
