Check Lock Status for All Site Collections in SharePoint
End user came with a compliant: "I'm receiving 'HTTP 403: The Website declined to Show this webpage' in some sites", in an intranet collaboration environment. Ah! This is because: site is locked with "No Access".
How to Check Site Lock Status?
But for this case, End-user doesn't remember the URL. There are 5000+ site collections. How do I find which site collection has been locked with "No Access"? We have to retrieve lock status for all site collections. PowerShell comes to rescue again:
PowerShell Script to Get Lock status for all Site Collections:
- You can Navigate to: Central Administration > Application Management > Configure Quotas and Locks to get lock status.
- Get Lock status with STSADM
stsadm -o getsitelock -URL http://sharepoint.crescent.com - Retrieve Site lock status with PowerShell:
Get-SPSite "http://sharepoint.crescent.com" | Select ReadOnly,Readlocked,WriteLocked
