This year will see another major evolution in the SharePoint on premise world - the release of SharePoint 2016! Microsoft currently has their second public beta available for download. As we work with that beta we anxiously await the product’s official final release towards the end of first-half 2016. Between now and then there is a lot to learn about what’s new and what’s changed in SharePoint 2016. SharePoint 2016 enables great hybrid scenarios, providing for more and better integration with cloud services like Office 365. It provides significant security and compliance enhancements, and removes some of the limitations we’ve had to deal with in the past. This session will provide an overview of these great new capabilities and more about what’s new in SharePoint 2016.

server role are provisioned

reports non-compliance

• Zero downtime

12. Improved Hybrid Scenarios: Search

18. Removing Limits
• List View Threshold
Limit not removed; Views are now automatically managed
through automatic indexed columns.
• Max File Size
Increased from 2 GB to 10 GB
• Filename character limitations
Traditionally restricted characters like &, ~, {, }, file names containing a GUID, file names with leading dots,
and file names longer than 128 characters are now supported. The following characters are still not
permitted in file names: % and #.
• Site Collections per Content Database
Increased from 10,000 to 100,000 site collections per content database.
• Search Index
Increased support up to 500 Million items.

19. What do we lose?
• No new SharePoint Designer
…but SharePoint Designer 2013 works with SharePoint 2016
• SharePoint Foundation
• SQL Express
• Built In Forefront Identity Manager for User Profile Sync
• STSADM is officially deprecated!
• Excel Services
…now part of Office Online Server 2016 (Office Web Apps)
