Locks the door of a DPM library.

Parameter Set: Default
Lock-DPMLibraryDoor [-DPMLibrary] <Library> [-Async] [-DoorAccessJobStateChangeEventHandler <DoorAccessJobStateChangeEventHandler> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

The Lock-DPMLibraryDoor cmdlet locks the door of a System Center 2012 – Data Protection Manager (DPM) library.

Indicates that the command runs asynchronously. When you run a command asynchronously, the command prompt returns immediately even if the job takes an extended time to finish.

Specifies an event handler for certain door access events. You can use this parameter to update a GUI that runs in Windows PowerShell, but do not use it in the Windows PowerShell console.

Specifies a DPM library object that this cmdlet locks. To obtain a DPM library object, use the Get-DPMLibrary cmdlet.

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see    about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

The first command gets the libraries associated with the server, and then stores the library objects in the $DpmLibrary variable.

The second command locks the library door for the first library object stored in $DpmLibrary. This DPM server has more than one library. Therefore, the command uses standard Windows PowerShell array syntax to specify the first member of the $DpmLibrary array.

PS C:\> $DpmLibrary = Get-DPMLibrary -DPMServerName "DPMServer07"
