　　Sync button             

      To deactivate that feature we can use the SPList.ExcludeFromOfflineClient property. With this PowerShell Script we can set the value to 1 which deactivates the Synch function everywhere.             

      THX      Sahil Malik      for that script             

      Get-SPSite -limit all | get-SPWeb -limit all | Foreach {$_.Title = $_.Title;             

      $_.ExcludeFromOfflineClient=1; $_.Update()}             

      MySite:             

      If we can start with a fresh system we can remove the permissions to create MySites. If already MySites are created we first must delete them. Only the MySites, not the MySite host!

      Do not give the user the option to set up MySites will also remove the Newsfeed and the OneDrive link in the SharePoint top link bar.        

      Share             

      This script disables the “Allow access request” setting under      Site Settings      ->      Site Permissions      ->      Allow access request      for all Sites and SubSites und the configured URL             

      $Webapp = Get-SPWebApplication "http://MySharePointURL"             

      ForEach ($site in $webapp.Sites)             

      {ForEach ($web in $site.AllWebs | where {$_.RequestAccessEnabled -and $_.Permissions.Inherited -eq $false})             

      {$web.RequestAccessEmail=""             

      write-host $web.Title, $web.URL updated}}             

      The “Share” button and also the entries in the HoverPannels and context menus are still there but the user get the message that he did not have the right to share content or sites. Another option is to set the max allow      documents      ,      sites      and      users      to follow to 0. We can do this in      Manage Profile Service      ->      MySites settings section      ->      Manage Following       http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219740(v=office.15).aspx                     

      Follow             

      This script goes through the hierarchy and disables the Following Content feature in every WebSite. You get an error message for every site where the feature is not active or missing. This can be ignored             

$w = Get-SPWeb http://MySharePointURL | ForEach{ $_.URL }  

      Get-SPFeature -Web $w |%{ Disable-SPFeature -Identity "FollowingContent" -URL $w -Confirm:$false}
