Hi Guys, when i lock site collection using stsadm/centraladmin,what are the features & content types is Disabled in share point 2007.if anybody knows please post here actually what's going on when site collection is Locked. Thanks In Advance murali

You can find this answer via the SharePoint TechNet literature, specifically on this link here: - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262811%28office.12%29.aspx Any of the following values can be used with the lock flag: None : Sets the site collection to unlock. Noadditions : Permits changes that reduce the size of the data. For example, if you had an announcement list item whose body consisted of 50 characters, you could successfully edit the list item so that the body was reduced to 25 characters. However, if you tried to edit the list item so that they body was increased to 100 characters, that would be blocked. Readonly : Sets the site collection to read-only. Noaccess : Sets the site collection unavailable to all users. http://www.final-exodus.net

hi Steven, ok i saw link your its good maintaining the backup adn resotre when unlock site collection, but thing when site collection is lock we will not get any more options in Site Actions,no adding items option(like there is no new button etc.). so how there are doing that like there deactivateing features/content Types. pelase let me know any idea. Thanks In Advance. Murali

Maybe I'm missing the question? Are you asking if features/content types can be turned on/off? I'd imagine the above aspects still apply. Activiating/deactivating a content type or feature shouldn't have any real impact on its content or size (unless its something like the publishing features). Only administrators will be able to edit/activate features like this anyhow. If that's a concern, even if the lock is in place, you could always demote them.http://www.final-exodus.net

ok, but how the entire siteCollection going hiding the new buttons,upload images & documents here i think there doing some background work is it right.so how we sholud know that.
