Archiving teams with SDS

Hi Manu,

I have managed to bulk archive the team sites using the team's name.

Thanks for your prompt response and support.

Hi Anitha Regupathy

Thanks for providing more details on your requirement!

The Teams Admin Center itself doesn't support bulk archiving, so PowerShell is the recommended method for this. 

I hope, you are comfortable to use a PS script to achieve your goal. Here are the steps to follow: Let's know for any clarifications on using the script

• Create a CSV file (e.g., teams.csv)
• Connect to Microsoft Teams using the Connect-MicrosoftTeams cmdlet in PowerShell
• You may need to install the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module if it's not already installed. 
• Run the following script > Copy the below code in a text file and name it something like teams.ps1

$TeamNames = Import-CSV -Path "C:\azure\teams.csv"
foreach ($TeamName in $TeamNames) {
    $Name = $TeamName.TeamName
    $GroupID = (Get-Team -DisplayName $Name).GroupId
    Write-Host "Enabling archive for $Name" -ForegroundColor Yellow
    Set-TeamArchivedState -GroupId $GroupID -Archived:$true | Out-Null
}
Write-Host "Archive enabled for teams in the CSV file" -ForegroundColor Green

Here are the steps that I executed in my test Teams infrastructure. I tried archiving the selected teams using the PS script

Final Output as below:

Hope this helps.
