This won't work. If you want to update the sharing capabilities, you need to set them via siteproperties: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.online.sharepoint.tenantadministration.siteproperties.sharingcapability.aspx

Hi Oliver,

thanks for your answer. Do you know a page or a TechNet article or anything else, whre it is written down, that it is not possible to set it via REST?

And do you or anybody else know, if it is possible to set site collection administrators via REST Webservice?
