Central Administration is no longer provisioned on all servers by default

SharePoint Server 2016 Central Administration is now provisioned on the first server in a farm by default when using the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard. Central Administration is not provisioned on additional servers in a farm by default.

You can provision or unprovision Central Administration on individual servers in a farm, no matter what the server role is by using the following methods:

• The Services on Server page on Central Administration > System Settings

• Microsoft PowerShell cmdlets:

• The psconfig.exe -cmd adminvs operation

• The SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard

Note

The state of Central Administration does not affect whether a server is considered compliant with MinRole. The MinRole health rule will not attempt to provision or unprovision Central Administration.

Compliance features

The document deletion policy allows you to delete documents in users' OneDrive for Business sites after specific periods of time. The In-Place Hold policy allows administrators to preserve documents, email, and other files.

Document Library accessibility

The following features are now available for working in SharePoint Server 2016 document libraries:

• Landmarks to a page make it easier to navigate, and there are alt text improvements for all major navigation links.

• Keyboard shortcuts are provided for the following document tasks:

  • Alt + N - N ew

  • Alt + E - E dit

  • Alt + U - U pload

  • Alt + M - M anage

  • Alt + S - S hare

  • Alt + Y - S y nchronization

• Announcements for upload progress.

• Announcements for file name and file types when browsing folder and file lists.

• Improved callout reading.

• Fixed use of color issues for views switcher.

• Updates to the Help documentation.

Encrypted connections

When you set up an SSL binding in Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager to host your web application, SharePoint uses TLS 1.2 connection encryption if your client application supports it. SharePoint also supports TLS 1.2 connection encryption when connecting to other systems, for example when crawling websites.

Note

A security vulnerability was identified in the SSL 3.0 protocol that can allow an attacker to decrypt data. For enhanced security, some SharePoint features now disable SSL 3.0 connection encryption by default, as well as certain encryption algorithms (for example RC4) with known weaknesses. SharePoint disables SSL 3.0 connection encryption by default for some, but not all features. To ensure that SSL 3.0 is disabled for all features, you should disable it in Windows by editing the Windows Registry. For more information, see the 'Disable SSL 3.0 in Windows For Server Software', and 'For Client Software', workarounds in Microsoft Security Advisory 3009008.

Fast Site Collection Creation

This new feature provides templates that work at same level as SQL Server, which reduces the round trips required between the SharePoint and SQL servers. Use the SPSiteMaster Microsoft PowerShell cmdlets to create sites and site collections quickly.

File names - expanded support for special characters

SharePoint has historically blocked file names that included the &, ~, {, and } characters, file names that contained a GUID, file names with leading dots, and file names longer than 128 characters. These restrictions are removed in SharePoint Server 2016 and are now available to use.

Important

Restricted characters such as % and # are still not allowed in file names. Page file names, such as wiki pages, may not contain the following characters: ' # % * : < > ? / nor can they begin with a leading dot (period) character.

Hybrid in SharePoint Server 2016

In SharePoint Server 2016, new hybrid features are available to enable hybrid solutions.

Hybrid sites

Hybrid sites features allows your users to have an integrated experience while using SharePoint Server and SharePoint Online sites:

• Users can follow SharePoint Server and SharePoint Online sites, and see them consolidated in a single list.

• Users have a single profile in Office 365, where all of their profile information is stored.

For more information, see SharePoint hybrid sites and search.

Hybrid OneDrive for Business

Sharepoint 2016 Create New List Style In Word

Hybrid sites features are used in concert with Hybrid OneDrive for Business (introduced in SharePoint Server 2013 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)):

• Users can sync files with Office 365 and share them with others.

• Users can access their files directly through Office 365 from any device.

Cloud hybrid search

Cloud hybrid search is a new hybrid search solution alternative. With cloud hybrid search:

• You index all of your crawled content, including on-premises content, to your search index in Office 365. You can set up the crawler in SharePoint Server 2016 to crawl the same content sources and use the same search connectors in Office SharePoint Server 2007, SharePoint Server 2010, and SharePoint Server 2013.

• When users query your search index in Office 365, they get unified search results from both on-premises and Office 365 content.

For more information about cloud hybrid search, see the public Microsoft cloud hybrid search program on Microsoft Office connection.

For more information, see Plan for hybrid OneDrive for Business.

For more information about the hybrid solutions available today, please visit the SharePoint Hybrid Solutions Center.

Identify and search for sensitive content in both SharePoint Server 2016 and OneDrive documents

With this new capability, you can:

• Search for sensitive content across SharePoint Server 2016, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive for Business.

• Leverage 51 built-in sensitive information types (credit cards, passport numbers, Social Security numbers, and more).

• Use DLP Queries from the eDiscovery site collection to discover sensitive content relating to common industry regulations from the SharePoint eDiscovery Center, identify offending documents, and export a report.

• Turn on DLP Policies from the Compliance Policy Center site collection to notify end users and administrators when documents with sensitive information are stored in SharePoint and automatically protect the documents from improper sharing.

Information on configuring and using this feature is documented in SharePoint Online and Office 365. For more information, see:

Image and video previews

In SharePoint Server 2016 when you post images and videos to a document library, you can see a preview by hovering the mouse over the image or video, or by clicking on them.

Information Rights Management

For more information, see Secure and sync with Information Rights Management on OneDrive for Business and Apply Information Rights Management to a list or library.

Large file support

Previous versions of SharePoint did not support uploading or downloading files larger than 2,047 MB. SharePoint Server 2016 now allows you to upload or download larger files. You can configure the desired maximum file-size limit on a per-web application basis in your SharePoint farm.

MinRole farm topology

The role of a server is specified when you create a new farm or join a server to an existing farm. SharePoint automatically configures the services on each server based on the server role, optimizing the performance of the farm based on that topology. There are eight predefined server roles that are available, as shown in the following table.

For more information about the MinRole feature, see Overview of MinRole Server Roles in SharePoint Server 2016 and Planning for a MinRole server deployment in SharePoint Server 2016.

Mobile experience

When you use a mobile device to access the home page for a SharePoint Server 2016 team site, you can tap tiles or links on the screen to navigate the site. You can also switch from the mobile view to PC view, which displays site pages as they are seen on a client computer. This view is also touch enabled.

New controls for working with OneDrive for Business

You can click a control to create new Office documents, upload files, synchronize your files for offline use, and share your files. For more information, see 'Simple controls' on The OneDrive Blog.

Open Document Format (ODF) available for document libraries

The Open Document Format (ODF) enables you to create new files in a document library and save as ODF files so that users can edit the new file with a program they choose. For more information, see Set Open Document Format (ODF) as the default file template for a library.

Project Server 2016

Project Server 2016 for SharePoint Server 2016 has many new capabilities and features, including:

• Resource Engagements: Now project managers can request needed resources from resource managers to complete their projects. Also, resource managers can use the new heat map functionality to see where resources are spending their time.

• Multiple Timelines: Project and Portfolio managers can now create richer timelines that display multiple timelines in a single view.

• Simpler administration: Project Server now has multi-tenant storage capabilities and has combined data storage with SharePoint. This greatly reduces IT overhead by eliminating the dedicated Project Server database and improves backup and restore capabilities.

• Cloud grade performance and scale: Many performance and scalability improvements that have been added to Project Online have also been added to Project Server 2016.

For more information, see What's new for IT pros in Project Server 2016 Preview.

Important

Project Server 2016 is installed with SharePoint Server 2016 Enterprise, though is licensed separately. For more information about Project Server licensing, see Licensing Project.

Power Pivot add-in and Power View are now available to use with SharePoint Server 2016

SQL Server 2016 CTP 3.1 is now available. You can now download SQL Server 2016 CTP 3.1 to use the Power Pivot for SharePoint add-in. You can also use Power View by installing SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) in SharePoint-integrated mode and the SSRS front-end add-in from the SQL Server installation media.

Download SQL Server 2016 CTP 3.1 from Microsoft Download Center.

The following SharePoint Server 2016 business intelligence features are available when you upgrade to SQL Server 2016 CTP 3.1:

• Power Pivot Gallery

• Scheduled Data Refresh

• Workbooks as a Data Source

• Power Pivot Management Dashboard

• Power View reports

For more information, download the new Deploying SQL Server 2016 PowerPivot and Power View in SharePoint 2016 white paper. For details about configuring and deploying business intelligence in a multiple server SharePoint Server 2016 farm, download Deploying SQL Server 2016 PowerPivot and Power View in a Multi-Tier SharePoint 2016 Farm.

Request Manager service improvements

SharePoint Request Manager now provisions on the server roles shown in the following list, to support both throttling and routing scenarios:

• Application

• Distributed Cache

• Front-End

Additionally, the Request Manager service will no longer prevent sites from rendering when the service is enabled while you have no routing rules defined.

Sharing

The following list shows the sharing improvements that are available for SharePoint Server 2016:

• Create and Share folder

• Sharing Hint

• See who the folder is shared with when viewing a folder

• Members can share

• Improved invitation mail

• One-click email to approve or deny a request for access

• Recently Shared Items cache, see Enable the Recently Shared Items (RSI) cache to quickly populate the Shared with Me view.

SharePoint Search Service application

SharePoint Search supports indexing of up to 500 million items per Search Server application. For more information, see Overview of search architecture in SharePoint Server. For information about SharePoint cloud hybrid search, see Learn about cloud hybrid search for SharePoint.

Simplified SSL configuration for Central Administration site

We've simplified the process for configuring Central Administration to use SSL bindings. The following command parameters are now available to use:

• New-SPCentralAdministration -Port <number> -SecureSocketsLayer

• Set-SPCentralAdministration -Port <number> -SecureSocketsLayer

• Psconfig.exe -cmd adminvs -port <number> -ssl

You must assign a server certificate to the Central Administration IIS web site by using the IIS administration tools. The Central Administration web application won't be accessible until you do this.

If you specify port 443, it will automatically create an SSL binding instead of an HTTP binding even if you don't include the SecureSocketsLayer or SSL parameters.

The Central Administration public AAM URL will be automatically updated to use the appropriate protocol scheme, server name, and port number.

Site collection upgrades

There are three options available for upgrading site collections. For more information, see Upgrade a site collection to SharePoint Server 2016.

SMTP connection encryption

The following list shows the SharePoint 2016 requirements that are needed to negotiate connection encryption with an SMTP server:

1. STARTTLS must be enabled on the SMTP server.

2. The SMTP server must support the TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, or TLS 1.2 protocol.

   Important

   SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 protocols are not supported.

3. The SMTP server must have a server certificate installed.

4. The server certificate must be valid. Typically, this means that the name of the server certificate must match the name of the SMTP server provided to SharePoint. The server certificate must also be issued by a certificate authority that is trusted by the SharePoint server.

5. SharePoint must be configured to use SMTP connection encryption.

To configure SharePoint to always use SMTP connection encryption, open the SharePoint Central Administration website and browse to System Settings > Configure outgoing e-mail settings and set the Use TLS connection encryption drop-down menu to Yes. To configure SharePoint to always use SMTP connection encryption in Microsoft PowerShell, use the Set-SPWebApplication cmdlet without the DisableSMTPEncryption parameter. For example:

To configure SharePoint to never use SMTP connection encryption in SharePoint Central Administration, browse to System Settings > Configure outgoing email settings and set the Use TLS connection encryption drop-down menu to No. To configure SharePoint to never use SMTP connection encryption in PowerShell, use the Set-SPWebApplication cmdlet with the DisableSMTPEncryption parameter. For example:

Note

If SharePoint is configured to use SMTP connection encryption, it will only send email messages if it successfully negotiates connection encryption with the SMTP server. It will not fall back and send email messages unencrypted if connection encryption negotiation fails. If SharePoint is not configured to use SMTP connection encryption, it will always send email messages unencrypted, even if the SMTP server supports connection encryption. > Using SMTP connection encryption does not enable SMTP authentication. SMTP requests are always sent anonymously.

Site folders view

For more information, see 'Site folders' in The OneDrive Blog.

Sites page pinning

You can now pin sites that you see on the sites page. A pinned site shows at the top of the list of sites that you're following.

Suite Navigation is themable

You can now apply themes to your Suite Navigation.

Use SMTP ports other than the default (25)

To configure SharePoint to use a non-default SMTP port open SharePoint Central Administration, browse to System Settings > Configure outgoing email settings, and set the SMTP server port to the port number of your SMTP server. To configure SharePoint to use a non-default SMTP port in PowerShell, use the Set-SPWebApplication cmdlet with the SMTPServerPortCreate SharePoint lists to keep track of information, including titles, descriptions, people and dates.

Lists are shared with the other members and visitors of a site. Visitors can view lists and list items and they cannot create or edit lists or list items.

Create a list from a list template in SharePoint Server 2007

SharePoint Server 2007 includes several different types of list templates, ranging from a calendar to a contacts list. Although some of the settings vary among the lists, you can use the same basic procedure to create any type of list.

Note: To create a list, you must have permission to change the site where you want to create the list.

1. Click View All Site Content, and then click Create on the All Site Content page.

   Tip: In most cases, you can use the Site Actions menu instead to complete this step.

2. Under Communications or Tracking, click the type of list that you want, such as Contacts or Calendar.

   Types of lists

   The type of list that you use depends on the kind of information that you are sharing:

   • Announcements Use an announcements list to share news and status and to provide reminders. Announcements support enhanced formatting with images, hyperlinks, and formatted text.

   • Contacts Use a contacts list to store information about people or groups that you work with. If you are using an e-mail or contact management program that is compatible with SharePoint, you can view and update your contacts from your SharePoint site in the other program. For example, you can update a list of all your organization's suppliers from Office. A contacts list doesn't actually manage the members of your site, but it can be used to store and share contacts for your organization, such as a list of external vendors.

   • Discussion boards Use a discussion board to provide a central place to record and store team discussions that is similar to the format of newsgroups. If your administrator has enabled lists on your site to receive e-mail, discussion boards can store e-mail discussions from most common e-mail programs. For example, you can create a discussion board for your organization's new product release. If you are using an e-mail program that is compatible with SharePoint, you can view and update your discussion board while working in the other program.

   • Links Use a links list as a central location for links to the web, your company's intranet, and other resources. For example, you might create a list of links to your customers' websites.

   • Calendar Use a calendar for all of your team's events or for specific situations, such as company holidays. A calendar provides visual views, similar to a desk or wall calendar, of your team events, including meetings, social events, and all-day events. You can also track team milestones, such as deadlines or product release dates, that are not related to a specific time interval. If you are using an e-mail or calendar program that is compatible with SharePoint, you can view and update your calendar from your SharePoint site while working in the other program. For example, you can compare and update your calendar on the SharePoint site with dates from your Office Outlook calendar, by viewing both calendars side-by-side or overlaid with each other in Office Outlook.

   • Tasks Use a task list to track information about projects and other to-do events for your group. You can assign tasks to people, as well as track the status and percentage complete as the task moves toward completion. If you are using an e-mail or task management program that is compatible with SharePoint, you can view and update your tasks from your SharePoint site in your other program. For example, you can create a task list for your organization's budget process and then view and update it in Office Outlook along with your other tasks.

   • Project tasks To store information that is similar to a task list, but also provide a visual or Gantt view with progress bars, use a project task list. You can track the status and percentage complete as the task moves toward completion. If you are using an e-mail or task management program that is compatible with SharePoint, you can view and update your project tasks from your SharePoint site in your other program. For example, you can create a task list on your SharePoint site to identify and assign the work to create a training manual. Then you can track your organization's progress from Office Outlook.

   • Issue tracking Use an issue-tracking list to store information about specific issues, such as support issues, and track their progress. You can assign issues, categorize them, and relate issues to each other. For example, you can create an issue-tracking list to manage customer service problems and solutions. You can also comment on issues each time you edit them, creating a history of comments without altering the original description of the issue. For example, a customer service representative can record each step taken to resolve a problem and the results.

   • Survey To collect and compile feedback, such as an employee satisfaction survey or a quiz, use a survey. You can design your questions and answers in several different ways and see an overview of your feedback. If you have a spreadsheet or database program installed that is compatible with SharePoint such as Office Excel, you can export your results to further analyze them.

   • Custom Although you can customize any list, you can start with a custom list and then customize just the settings that you specify. You can also create a list that is based on a spreadsheet, if you have a spreadsheet program that is compatible with SharePoint. For example, you can import a list from Office Excel that you created to store and manage contracts with vendors.

3. All lists require a name. In the Name box, type a name for the list.

   The name appears at the top of the list in most views, becomes part of the web address for the list page, and appears in site navigation to help users find the list. You can change the name of a list, but the web address will remain the same.

4. In the Description box, type a description of the purpose of the list. The description is optional.

   The description appears at the top of the list in most views, underneath the name of the list. Some types of lists can receive content by e-mail. If you plan to enable the list to receive content by e-mail, you can add the e-mail address of the list to its description, so that people can easily find the e-mail address.

5. To add a link to this list on the Quick Launch, click Yes in the Navigation section.

   If an Incoming E-mail section appears, your administrator has enabled lists on your site to receive content by e-mail. To enable people to add content to the list by sending e-mail, click Yes under Enable this list to receive e-mail. Then, in the Email address box, type the first part of the address that you want people to use for the list.

   This option may not be available for some types of lists.

6. If an E-Mail Notification section appears, your administrator has enabled lists on your site to send e-mail notifications when list items are assigned. To enable the list to send e-mail to people when an item is assigned to them, click Yes under Send e-mail when ownership is assigned?.

   This option may not be available for some types of lists.

7. Click Create.

Note: By default, you can add content by sending e-mail to discussion boards, announcements, and calendar lists, if incoming e-mail is enabled on your site. Tasks, project tasks, and issue-tracking lists can send e-mail to people when items are assigned to them, if outgoing mail is enabled for the site. Other lists can be enabled by your administrator with a custom solution such as an e-mail handler.
