Practices SharePoint Guidance - Discussions - Next Version Customization Scenario Input

We are looking for input on common customization scenarios. Some business problem detail will really help as well. We want to identify the top customization scenarios for the next release of SharePoint that could use some guidance. While SharePoint 2010 will bring new capabilities that we'll consider, the basic customization scenarios probably won't change a lot, the same business problems will exist. If you have a customization scenario that caused you particular difficulty, or you see a customization scenario occurring over and over again, please go ahead and add it to the discussion list. We are looking to close this out within about 30 days, so the sooner we can get your input the better!

SharePoint 2010 L’outil de pré-installation de MOSS 2010

Dans la lignée des autres produits de la gamme serveur chez Microsoft, SharePoint 2010 bénéficie enfin d’une première interface d’assistant d’installation, et non plus une simple fenêtre de décompression de fichiers, tel que nous l’offrait la version précédente.

Celui-ci est avant tout un outil en ligne de commande ' PrerequisiteInstaller.exe ‘, dont voici les options (voir la vidéo)
