I need to create a console application to get all the site collections and subsites in a specific SharePoint 2007 web application. This application will run on client machine instead of SharePoint server.

I am not sure whether we can use object model for creating an application which runs outside SharePoint server. I thought of using Webs.asmx web service too, but could not find a suitable method to get the site collections.

Any help on this would be sincerely appreciated!

You cannot use object model for this as the console application will not be run on the server. For MOSS 2007, webservice is the only option.

As per this question, Listing out all Site Collections is not possible using the out of the box web service. How about writing your own web service?

  • Thanks Shoban! I see that listing out all Site Collections is not possible using the out of the box web service, though I was able to get all the sub sites using Webs.asmx. Actually we have no remote access to the server, so the only get go is through web services. – Neal Mukundan Apr 04 '12 at 07:19
