Discussion: SharePointDSC with non-englisch systems or ISOs

Lately there are a few issues focusing on localization troubles with non-english OSs or SharePoint installs - they are more or less related to #665.

The following issues are related to language issues or use ValueMaps, that will fail with non-english SharePoint setups (tbc.)

• #954 with #825 (seems to be the most challenging)
• #923
• #922
• #920
• #947

Do we have a chance to switch to internal enums? These should be the same across environments.

For example:

namespace Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration
{
	[System.Flags]
	internal enum UserProfileApplicationUserRights : ulong
	{
		None = 0uL,
		UsePersonalFeatures = 1uL,
		CreatePersonalSite = 2uL,
		UseSocialFeatures = 4uL,
		UseMicrobloggingAndFollowing = 8uL,
		All = 15uL
	}
}

or in other cases the use of internal names (TypeNames) like @NikCharlebois introduced in #923.

I have updated SPServiceAppSecurity to validate the specified permission levels against the possible values from SharePoint. Will submit a PR shortly.

This is what I get:

Full Control Full Control Full Control Full Control Full Control Full Control Full Control Read Access to Term Store Read and Restricted Write Access to Term Store Full Access to Term Store Full Control Full Control Full Control Full Control Full Control Full Control Full Control Full Control Full Control Full Control

If I don’t set the CurrentUICulture I get this:

Full kontroll Full kontroll Full kontroll Full kontroll Full kontroll Full kontroll Full kontroll Read Access to Term Store Read and Restricted Write Access to Term Store Full Access to Term Store Full kontroll Full kontroll Full kontroll Full kontroll Full kontroll Full kontroll Full kontroll Full kontroll Full kontroll Full kontroll
