I don't think a sheet like that exists. I found a couple of interesting links for you:

Hopefuly they contain useful information for you. One good thing to remember is that users always have to translate content to the other language. All the system settings (such as settings and default columns) are translated. I don't know how to other products work compared to SharePoint.

You also buy a platform with SharePoint so you can use it for lots more then a multilingual solution.

ou're never really going to get a unified document as it'll almost certainly end up with things that aren't relevant.  Some basic questions would be: -

• Are you using Performance Point?


• Are you using Standard or Enterprise?


• What version of SQL Server do you have?


• Are you integrating Reporting Services into your deployment?


• Are you using any major third party products from guys like Metalogix, AvePoint etc.


• Have you any internal customisations?

All of these would represent deviations from one deployment to the next.  You'd be best served reading widely around the current set-up that you have, reading the link that Bogdan provided and looking at MVP/Support Engineer blogs

There are thousands of troubleshooting scenarios and articles. Check the blogs of the SharePoint Support Engineers that are working for Microsoft and you will find a lot of information.

Few Questions to be answered before you start a SharePoint…

List web service returns empty result if anonymous is enabled for site collection using list GUID

I am using MOSS 2007 SP 2. I enabled anonymous access on the site collection for lists only. When I try to call GetListItems on the lists web service on a list that does not have anonymous enabled using the list GUID in the request I get back 0 items. If I used the list name instead I get back list items. If I disable anonymous access for the site collection I also get back list items. Any idea what's going on?

Wrap your request inside authentication.asmx.

Use LoginResult method and based on the results of this function assign the CookieContainer of authentication web service to the Lists web service.
