Features of SharePoint 2016

Let's take a look at the new SharePoint 2016 features as well as the deprecated SharePoint 2016 features.

Overall, SharePoint Server 2016 has improved user experience as app launcher, many user interface changes for better user experience and improved mobile experience. And also SharePoint 2016 has a hybridOneDrive for workwhich users can use for cloud storage.

New features in SharePoint 2016

Below are a fewnew features in SharePoint 2016;.

• Support for large files
• There is no centralized management of SharePoint 2016
• Document library accessibility
• Special characters are supported in the file name
• View image and video files
• Open Document Format (ODF) is supported.
• minimal role
• permanent relationship
• Data loss prevention
• Install patches without problems
• Automatic index management
• Create your first site collection
• SMTP encryption
• Project server integration
• SharePoint 2016 hybrid feature
• Improvements to the SharePoint search service implementation

1. There is no centralized management of SharePoint 2016 across all servers

When you run the SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard, SharePoint Server 2016 central management is provided by default on the first server in the farm and is not available on additional servers in the cluster by default.

2. Support for large files

In SharePoint 2013, the maximum file size was 2 GB or 2047 MB. But in SharePoint 2016, Microsoft increased the maximum file size limit to10 GBas a supported constraint.

As a SharePoint administrator, you can change more than what is recommended10 GBSharePoint 2016 Central Administration Limitation.

Open SharePoint 2016 Central Administration, click "Management of online applications” located in Application Manager, select a specific web application and click General Settings -> General Settings. On the general settings page of the web application, you can change the "maximum size to load” to the desired number.

If you have increased this limit, as an administrator you should run your own load and performance tests.

3. Availability of the document library

Document library accessibility is another new feature of SharePoint 2016. Several new features have been introduced to work with SharePoint 2016 document libraries, including:

• Points on the page make navigation easier and there are alt text enhancements for all main navigation links.
• Keyboard shortcuts are available for the following document tasks:
  • Alt + N -> New
  • Alt + E -> Edit
  • Alt + U -> Subir
  • Alt + M -> Manage
  • Alt + S -> Share
  • Alt + Y -> Sync
• Focus improvements, such as keeping focus on previous elements and taking focus.
• Upload progress notifications.
• File name and file type notifications when browsing a list of folders and files.
• Improved call reading.
• Fixed color issues for view change.
• Help documentation updates.

4. Supported special characters in filename

In earlier versions of SharePoint, there were restrictions on filenames, which included the &, ~, {, and } characters, filenames containing a GUID, filenames with leading periods, and filenames longer than 128 characters. They are now allowed in SharePoint Server 2016. However, characters like % and # are still not allowed in file names.

5. Review image and video files

In SharePoint 2016, you can preview images and videos while hovering over them. This is the second onenew features in SharePoint 2016;.

6. Open Document Format (ODF) available for document libraries

In SharePoint 2016, Open Document Format (ODF) allows you to create new files in a document library and save them as ODF files so that users can edit the new file with the program of their choice.

7. Minimum bet

another very important onenew features in SharePoint 2016;is MinRole.

In SharePoint 2013, we need to manually start the services on each server, be it application server, search server, the necessary services need to be started manually. Microsoft has simplified this installation process by introducing a new topology known as MinRole.

In MinRole, instead of manually starting services on servers, Microsoft verifies which services are running on which servers.

There will be 6 roles on each server in the MinRole topology cluster:

• Interface
• Application
• distributed cache
• I am looking
• Custom
• A server farm

After you select a role, SharePoint will automatically start the necessary services for the server and stop them if the service application is no longer needed in the farm.

8. Permanent connection

Permalink is another useful feature in SharePoint 2016. In earlier versions of SharePoint, document URLs were based on paths, as shown below:

https://onlysharepoint2013.sharepoint.com/sites/bhawana/TestDocLib/TestDoc.docx

So if someone renames the document or moves it to another folder or document library, the URL will break and if the user clicks the link to open the document, it will throw a file exception or document not found.

However, in SharePoint 2016, the permalink feature allows users to rename a document or even move a document to the same site collection without breaking the link URL. Whatever you do, the connection will work.

The feature will be available after installing and configuring the Office Web Apps service. The feature works for Office documents such as Word, Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint and PDF file types.

9. Data Loss Prevention

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is already introduced in SharePoint Online and Microsoft is including this feature in SharePoint Server 2016. By usingDLP mode, SharePoint administrators and business compliance managers can find sensitive information in documents and ensure their use complies with company policies.

In SharePoint Server 2016, the DLP system finds, reports and can also block so that other users cannot access the document from the entire SharePoint cluster.

you can find more51 types of sensitive informationsuch as credit cards, social security numbers, bank account numbers, passports, etc. Simplywebsite owners, the users who created the document and the person who last modified the document can view the documents.

For other users, it will give access errors like "Access to this item is locked. It conflicts with their organization's policy."

So data loss prevention is another very usefulSharePoint 2016 feature.

10. Patch installation without interruption

In earlier versions of SharePoint, it took many times, even hours, to install patches or cumulative updates. But in SharePoint Server 2016 there will be no downtime for cumulative updates.

11. Prag prikaza popisa

Microsoft has recommended a threshold limit of 5000 items when retrieving items from a SharePoint list. It is recommended to ensure the list loads quickly.

If you try to retrieve items with more than 5000 list items at once, you will run into a list view limit issue. In SQL Server, also, whenever you run a query that will return more than 500 items, SQL will lock that table until the query is finished executing.

12. Create the first site collection

In previous versions of SharePoint, every time you create a site collection, SharePoint will create an empty site and then activate all the required features, which takes a lot of time. Microsoft introduced the quick site collection creation process, which allows administrators to create site collections more quickly.

U tomeQuickly create a collection of pagesIn the process, a copy of the template will be saved in the database and every time you create a site collection with that template using quick site collection creation, SharePoint will copy the site directly to the content database, making site creation much faster .

Building a website quickly can only be possible with PowerShell.

This is the second oneNew features in SharePoint 2016.

13. SMTP Encryption

In SharePoint 2013, outgoing email was always sent unencrypted and on port 25, which is not secure. Now in SharePoint Server 2016, our outgoing email settings allow us to use TLS connection encryption.

14. Project Server Integration

In earlier versions of SharePoint,project serverit came as a plugin that needs to be installed and patched. But in SharePoint Server 2016, Project Server just comes as a service application that you have to configure.

15. SharePoint 2016 Hybrid Feature

SharePoint Server 2016 offers new hybrid capabilities.

a- Hybrid spaces:

Hybrid site features allow your users to have an integrated experience when using SharePoint Server and SharePoint Online sites. Users can track SharePoint Server and SharePoint Online sites and see them consolidated into a single list. Users have a profile in the Office 365 system, where all their profile data is stored.

b- Hybrid OneDrive for Business:

Using the Hybrid OneDrive for Business feature, users can sync files with Office 365 and share them with others. Users can access their files directly through Office 365 from any device.

c- Hybrid cloud search:

Using hybrid cloud search:

You index all of your indexed content, including local content, in the Office 365 search index. You can configure indexing in SharePoint Server 2016 to index the same content sources and use the same search connections in Office SharePoint Server 2007, SharePoint Server 2010, and SharePoint Server 2013.

When users query the Office 365 search index, they receive unified search results from on-premises content and Office 365.

17. SharePoint search service application

Now in SharePoint Server 2016, Search supports indexing in500 millionitems per search server application.

Deprecated SharePoint 2016 features

There are also some features that have been removed in SharePoint 2016. Here are the features that have been removed or removed in SharePoint Server 2016.

1. Bez SharePoint Foundationa

There is no basic version of SharePoint in SharePoint Server 2016. In previous versions of SharePoint, there was always a basic version, which was the free version of SharePoint that included most of the basic features.

2. There is no standalone installation method

SharePoint Server 2016 does not support a standalone installation option, you must use the MinRole role during installation and select one of the available installation options.

3. ForeFront Identity Manager (FIM) client.

Previous versions of SharePoint used the ForeFront Identity Manager (FIM) client to synchronize between Active Directory and SharePoint. SharePoint Server 2016 no longer uses FIM as a sync client. The default process is to import into Active Directory.

4. There are no Excel services in SharePoint

Excel Services and related business intelligence capabilities are no longer on SharePoint Server. Excel Services functionality is now part of Excel Online on Office Online Server, and SharePoint users can use the services from there.

5. Points and notes

The Tags and Notes feature has been deprecated in SharePoint Server 2016. This means that users can create new tags and notes and access existing ones. But Microsoft's recommendation is to stop using this feature.

6. There is no STSADM command line tool

Microsoft has deprecated the Stsadm.exe tool and recommends using PowerShell instead.

These areNew features in SharePoint 2016GDeprecated SharePoint 2016 features.

Managed SharePoint accounts

Let's see what are managed accounts in SharePoint 2016 and how to register a managed account from SharePoint 2016 central administration and also discuss how to register a managed account usingPower Shell.

What are managed accounts in SharePoint 2016?

Managed Accounts is the Active Directory for SharePoint accounts whose credentials are managed by SharePoint. The administrator account credentials are encrypted and linked to the Active Directory account.

If we try to register an account that is not validActive fileThe user account is not available in the list of managed accounts, we would catch a SharePoint exception.

Before configuring and registering for account management, we must have an active user with permissions to add to groups.

Register a managed account in SharePoint 2016

We can register a management account:

• From SharePoint 2016 Central Administration
• Print PowerShell cmdlets

Register a managed account from SharePoint 2016 central administration

We can easily register managed accounts from SharePoint 2016 Central Administration.

Paso 1:
Open SharePoint 2016 Central Administration and click Security.

Paso 2:
Click Set up managed accounts from General Security.

Pass 3:
To set up a managed account, click onRegister a managed account. In this step we can also see the registered accounts and edit them.

Phase 4:
This is where we pass the account admin credentials. This also provides the ability to configure account passwords to change automatically on a schedule and before any scheduled password change event in Active Directory. And you can click OK to configure.

Register a new managed account using PowerShell

Using a PowerShell script, we can register a new managed account for the specified credentials or username and password.

Here's a script you can run to register a new managed account in SharePoint 2016Windows PowerShell ISEusing itin the art studio.

Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"$cred = Get-CredentialNew-SPmanagedAccount –Credential $cred

When running the above script, a pop-up window appears to enter the credentials of a valid username and password combination.

Description:
el cmdletAgregar-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"

It's basically a PowerShell extension that gives you a series of commands to work with SharePoint objects.

OnNew managed SP accountThe cmdlet registers a new managed account for the specified credential or username and password.

–Credential Indicates a credential object that specifies the credentials of the new managed account.

In this we learn how to register managed accounts using SharePoint 2016 Central Administration and a PowerShell script.

Here we discuss What are managed accounts in SharePoint 2016? How to register a managed account in SharePoint 2016/2013 and how to register a new managed account using PowerShell in SharePoint 2016/2013.

How to change the password of a managed SharePoint account
