Quotas and Locking via webservics

Question

Forgive me if this is a basic question, I'm very new to sharepoint, but I've been going through the webservice documentation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee705814.aspx) and can't seem to find any methods to do what I'm looking for.

There's two things I'd like to do via the webservices (calls are coming from remote location so unable to use Microsoft.Sharepoint classes)

1. assign a quota template to a site collection
2. lock/unlock a site collection

Answer 1

I don't think either of those have web service functionality - Any reason you need a web service for this? You could of course write your own...

Answer 2

We're doing some automated provisioning of site collections for our clients and part of the requirements is to assign a quota template when the site collection is created.

The requirement for locking comes into play if a client decides to suspend/deactivate their account we also need to lock the associated site collection.

Answer 3

I still dont see why you'd need a web service for any of this, but again you can write your own WCF Service to accomplish this.
