Office-docs-powershell: Unable to set -LockState Readonly on particular Site Collection (all other works fine)

[federico-r-figueredo]

I'm attempting to set a Site Collection from Unlock to Readonly. This Site Collection happens to be "https://tenant.sharepoint.com", so I'm unsure if that factors into it. I'm running:

Set-SPOSite https://tenant.sharepoint.com -LockState Readonly

When I do this with any other Site Collection like "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa", it unlocks just fine, but for this Site Collection, I get the error:

Any ideas?

Hello @FedeFigueredo
AFAIK you can't set the LockState property of the root tenant site collection.
Will propose adding a note to the article.
Thank you

@get-itips Thank you very much for the contribution and updating the documentation with PR. @FedeFigueredo Hope this update is helpful for you. Thanks for taking out some time to open the issue. Appreciate and encourage you to do the same in future also.

There´s not any chance of fixing this bug? So -LockState property can be used on root tenant site collection.
