Managing unused Sharepoint 2013 site with a PowerShell script

Hello,

Regarding "3) Delete locked inactive sites after 200 days", is it 200 days after locked site by the script?

I'm a bit confuse regarding your goal. Are you trying to lock inactive site collections or inactive sub-sites in site collections?

I'm not a Sharepoint expert, but as far I can see :

• Get-SPWeb return a SPWeb Object, which implement "site" parameter (returning SPSite, https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.sharepoint.spweb?view=sharepoint-server)
• From there, you should be able to make action like $web.site | Set-SPSite...

Regards,

Charles

We could traverse web application, site collection, site like this(If the site was modified within 100 days, site collection will not be locked):

$WebApps = Get-SPWebApplication
$daysInActive =100;
$date = (Get-Date).AddDays(-$daysInActive).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
foreach($webApp in $WebApps) {
    foreach ($spSite in $webApp.Sites) {       
       $check=$true;
        foreach($spWeb in $SPsite.AllWebs) {
           if($spWeb.LastItemModifiedDate -ge $date){
    $check=false;
    }            
        }
 if($check){
 Set-SPSite -Identity $spSite -LockState "NoAccess"
 }
    }
}

The third requirement should be difficult to achieve, there is no attribute value to store the lock time.

Hello charles-gerardlemetayer, Hello AmosWu-MSFT,

Thank you for your replies.

"3) Delete locked inactive sites after 200 days", is it 200 days after locked site by the script?",

Yes, I would like to delete locked site from step 2, maybe with a second script which input all the locked sites ?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hello,

As explained by @Amos Wu-MSFT , there're no value about lock time.

Possible workaround : you can create a NoSQL Database (as a Json file), which could be loaded when script start - or in another process, which contains the website ID, name and lock date.

Another solution : you can add a tag in the website name as "INACTIVELOCKED-DDMMYYYY-SiteName".
Then, you will have to split name by "-" symbole, where [0] is the process, [1] the locked date.
