SharePoint 2016 has Shipped!
Hopefully the event will bring us really news to the future of SharePoint, not only the “news” in SharePoint 2016. Because in my opinion this version is a bit disappointing!
4 years development and so little changes and no really trending features and no solutions for years uncompleted functionality. Please tell us the truth about responsive design for publishing and team site (and not the SP 2016 “improvements”), form solutions (the successor of InfoPath), workflows, improved document management functions, social features without the lousy yammer integration, OneDrive for Business that works and even is enterprise ready (governance!), a modern provisioning solution that’s not a GitHub tinker solution, and so on…
Comment on SharePoint RTM blog post.
What is the Community Saying…
Why Upgrade to 2016? “The most reliable, scalable, secure and high performing SharePoint release ever...”
But are there really any new features?
To date our disclosure has predominantly been related to our core infrastructure investments as that’s the primary investment area when we begin development – over the course of the next several months we’ll begin sharing (as soon as we know) what specific workload areas will be advanced.SharePoint on-premises will continue to ship on a 2-3 year cadence whereas we update SharePoint Online monthly. Our objective of defining on-premises through the cloud will bring some near term parity, but online will receive new capabilities first. – Bill Baer, SharePoint Team blog.
It’s shipped, but it’s not done… more coming…

InfoPath Forms Services is included in SharePoint 2016
InfoPath Forms Services on Office 365 still supported
InfoPath 2013 & SharePoint Designer 2013 lifecycle is supported until 2026.
Workflow on the fly with Flow
Flow.Microsoft.com
Intelligent SharePoint with PowerApps
Filenames - support for special characters including &$@~.. Doesn’t support / \ ? |< > #% - #% on the roadmap… Don’t worry about /\?|<>- Durable Links – new service to support for links that won’t
break when files move (Already works in Office 365)5000 file limit improved with automatic management of indexes
Large File Support – Up to 10GB. Controls are per web app.
5. Scalability and Improved File Handling
Large file support
Planning for Scale
List View Threshold was designed to mitigate lock escalation – I.e. lock escalation occurs when single Transact-SQL statement acquires at least 5,000 locks on a single nonpartitioned table or index – a row lock escalates to a table lock, blocking all subsequent requests – or otherwise converts many fine-grain locks into fewer coarse-grain locks.
Faster upload, Faster download, Faster sync BITS - Background Intelligent Transfer Service is built
inStreamlined flow and simplified faster site creationSQL 2016 is 7x faster than it’s predecessor
6. Improved User Performance
Gotchas!• The SharePoint Foundation is
Now SharePoint Server (NOT FREE)
• Excel Services Moved to Office Online and some BI/Reporting features require SQL 2016
• No more Single Server deployment SQL ok on separate box
• STSADM deprecated/Use Powershell!
• MinRoles require planning (8 Server min for HA)
• Project Server 2016 is available in SP2016 as an upgrade
Careful with Office Installations Click to Run vs. Windows
Installer Based Office Programs
Office 2016 deployment will need to be handled with care for any users of SharePoint Designer 2013 or InfoPath 2013.
Plan for Profiles: What about FIM in 2016?
In SharePoint 2016 FIM has been removed Uni-directional sync via AD sync in-product in addition
to support for new external MIM for bi-directional sync scenarios.
‒Effectively we’ve removed the embedded version of FIM and done work to more closely integrate with an external instance.
7. Hybrid Experiences including External Site publishing, Search & Delve
