I performed a move-spsite on a site collection.
Now when I try to link the site (/sites/mySiteCollection) I get 403 Forbidden. (I am site collection administrator).

The move operation ended with no errors.

I tried to iisreset but no luck.
Any suggestions?

A no-access lock is applied to the site collection to prevent users from altering data within the site collection while the move is taking place.

  • "Once the move is complete, the site collection is returned to its original lock state" not true in this case ;)

    Yes, I faced that problem so many times, and until now, I don't know why sometimes the site doesn't return to its normal state :(

The site collection was locked.
I solved using this:

Set-SPSite http://sp/sites/mySite -LockState "Unlock"

Do not know why the move lock it.
