Does anyone know where I can find a list of all the WebParts, Features and ContentTypes that are available to a regular Sharepoint installation?

What I need to do is identify any of the above in a sharepoint site that are not part of the standard Microsoft family that pack with Sharepoint- as far as I can tell the most reliable way to do this is by comparison with a whitelist of all the ones that are available by default. Reflecting the object model gives a list of the ones that are installed on any given site, but I'm reluctant to try and install/use every possible member of each of those categories on one site if I can avoid it.

It seems quite likely to me that this data is around somewhere, but it's quite hard to search for because I'm looking for a list and Sharepoint is largely built around lists so I've been unable to find search terms that don't return thousands of irrelevant results.

Thanks! "Out Of The Box" being the critical search term here. Clearly I wasn't thinking outside the box... –  glenatron Sep 17 '08 at 9:43

I've found the following list of feature names by running Dir /B on the Sharepoint TEMPLATES\FEATURES directory, which appears to be a cheeky yet effective solution:

AddDashboard, AdminLinks, Analytics, AnalyticsLinks, AnnouncementsList, BaseSite, BaseSiteStapling, BaseWeb, BaseWebApplication, BasicWebParts, BDCAdminUILinks, BDR, BizAppsCTypes, BizAppsFields, BizAppsListTemplates, BizAppsSiteTemplates, BulkWorkflow, BulkWorkflowTimerJob, ContactsList, ContentLightup, ContentTypeSettings, ctypes, CustomList, DataConnectionLibrary, DataConnectionLibraryStapling, DataSourceLibrary, DeploymentLinks, DiscussionsList, DMContentTy, eSettings, DocumentLibrary, EawfSite, EawfWeb, EnhancedHtmlEditing, EventsList, ExcelServer, ExcelServerSite, ExcelServerWebApplication, ExpirationWorkflow, featurenames.txt, FeaturePushdown, FeaturePushdownTask, fields, GanttTasksList, GlobalWebParts, GradualUpgrade, GridList, Hold, ipfsAdminLinks, IPFSAdminWeb, IPFSSiteFeatures, IPFSWebFeatures, IssuesList, IssueTrackingWorkflow, LegacyDocumentLibrary, LinksList, ListTargeting, LocalSiteDirectoryControl, LocalSiteDirectoryMetaData, LocalSiteDirectorySettingsLink, MasterSiteDirectoryControl, MigrationLinks, MobilityRedirect, MySite, MySiteBlog, MySiteCleanup, MySiteHost, MySiteLayouts, MySiteNavigation, MySiteQuickLaunch, Navigation, NavigationProperties, NoCodeWorkflowLibrary, OffWFCommon, OSearchBasicFeature, OSearchCenralAdminLinks, OSearchEnhancedFeature, OSearchPortalAdminLinks, OSearchSRPAdminLinks, OsrvLinks, OsrvTasks, OssNavigation, OSSSearchSearchCenterUrlFeature, OSSSearchSearchCenterUrlSiteFeature, PageConverters, PictureLibrary, PortalLayouts, PremiumSite, PremiumSiteStapling, PremiumWeb, PremiumWebApplication, ProfileSynch, Publishing, PublishingB2TRHop2SiteFilesUpgrade, PublishingB2TRSiteFilesUpgrade, PublishingLayouts, PublishingPrerequisites, PublishingResources, PublishingSite, PublishingStapling, PublishingWeb, RecordsManagement, RedirectPageContentTypeBinding, RelatedLinksScopeSettingsLink, ReportCenterCreation, ReportCenterSampleData, Reporting, ReportListTemplate, ReviewWorkflows, SearchAndProcess, SearchWebParts, SharedServices, SignaturesWorkflow, SiteSettings, SitesList, SkuUpgradeLinks, SlideLibrary, SlideLibraryActivation, SpellChecking, SPSDisco, SPSearchFeature, SpsSsoLinks, SRPProfileAdmin, StapledWorkflows, SurveysList, TasksList, TeamCollab, TranslationWorkflow, TransMgmtFunc, TransMgmtLib, UpgradeOnlyFile, UserMigrator, ViewFormPagesLockDown, WebPageLibrary, WebPartAdderGroups, WikiWelcome, WorkflowHistoryList, WorkflowProcessList, XmlFormLibrary,

I'm not certain that is all of them, or that all of those are the feature names I will find in the Sharepoint library, but it's a start.

What you have done there is totally not understand the question. In Sharepoint there is a type of object that can be added to a site, which in their infinite wisdom Microsoft chose to call a "Feature" - I was looking for a list of these. –  glenatron Sep 14 '11 at 11:59
