SharePoint Admin webservice

The Admin web service that SharePoint exposes _vti_adm/Admin.asmx can be used to create new SharePoint Sites, etc..the catch is you cannot just append this webservice url to any sharepoint site but only to the web app that hosts central admin..

For instance if you have a number of SharePoint sites at the following ports
1. http://servername:1233/CollaborationSite
2. http://servername:4545/TeamSite
3. http://servername:1066 - Central Admin

To connect to the Admin webservice you cannot do something like http://servername:1233/_vti_adm_Admin/asmx but you have to use the port that Central Admin is hosted so it will be http://servername:1066/_vti_adm/Admin.asmx
