# Set Read Only
foreach($Site in $SitesColl)
{
   
   Write-Host "Set Readonly:" $Site.Url
   
   Set-SPSite -Identity $Site.Url -LockState "ReadOnly"   
   #Set-SPSite -Identity $Site.Url -LockState "Unlock" 
}


# Check ReadOnly Status
foreach($Site in $SitesColl)
{
   $Mysite=Get-SPSite -Identity $Site.Url  

   Write-Host "ReadOnly Status:" $MySite.ReadOnly
}

Answer 2

You need to remove the quotation mark around $site.Url.

Use this, it should work for you:

Set-SPSite -Identity $site.Url -LockState "ReadOnly"

Answer 3

You need to capitalize s in $site

Correct code:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue
$SitesColl = import-csv "C:\Users\xxxxxxx\test.csv"
foreach($Site in $SitesColl)
{
  Set-SPSite -Identity $Site.Url -LockState "ReadOnly"
}
