How to disable "Discussion Board" list template in SharePoint 2010
It took almost my two days to search a way for hiding the "Discussion Board" area from a blank site. Main target was to not allow the users to create a Discussion Board in the site. I tried few ways but did not work as required. So the final thing that worked was the Powershell Scrip. I used the below script (found by one of my colleague) and it worked perfectly fine. Hope it will save someone's day. Regards, Before: After: Add-PSSnapin microsoft.sharepoint.powershell $web = Get-SPWeb "http://yoursitename/fullURL" $web.Features | ForEach-Object { Write-Host $_.Definition.Id "---" $_.Definition.DisplayName IF ($_.Definition.DisplayName -eq "DiscussionsList") { Disable-SPFeature -Identity $_ -URL "http://yoursitename/fullURL" Write-Host "Disabled feature DiscussionsList" } } Write-Host "------------------------------" Read-Host "Press any button" Ho
