Block all personal sites in Sharepoint (Microsoft cannot help)

Hello,


Is there a way to lock all personal sites.

I found a script to block one site

Connect-SPOService -Url https://xxx-admin.sharepoint.com
$siteUrl = "https://xxx-my.sharepoint.com/personal/adelev_xxx_onmicrosoft_com"
$site = Get-SPOSite $siteUrl -Detailed
Set-SPOSite $site -LockState NoAccess


It works, but I have hundreds of sites to block. First I would need to list all sites and then one by one block them.

Is there a way to automate it and BLOCK all sites?

I want to lock sites temporarily. This lock prevent users that has a personal site to use them (new ppl are blocked by MySite setting).


I contacted Microsoft directly and they provided me with some data - they told me that I should use ForEach, but I have no idea how to use it, and they won't help me any further cause it is against some policy.

    You can use the Get-SPOSite cmdlet to list all "personal" sites:

     

    $ODFBsites = Get-SPOSite -IncludePersonalSite $true -Limit all -Filter "Url -like '-my.sharepoint.com/personal/'"

     

    then loop over each site and change the state:

     

    $ODFBsites | % {Set-SPOsite $_.Url  -LockState NoAccess }
