Deprecated Features in SharePoint 2016

Deprecated Features in SharePoint 2016:

The below Article which will Explain the features which are Exist in SharePoint 2013 and deprecated in SharePoint 2016.

SharePoint Foundation:

SharePoint Foundation has been included in all previous versions and stands as the free, slightly cut-down version of SharePoint. All of the core functionality for this is now built directly into the core SharePoint product, so this is now no longer available

Stand-Alone Installation

Due to this change and update, the idea of a "stand-alone" installation is not supported as it has been with other builds. If you want to create a self-contained development or test environment, then simply choose the “Single Server Farm” role during installation. You will, however, should ensure that everything else you need, such as SQL, is already installed and configured.

Forefront Identity Manager Client (FIM)

In previous versions of SharePoint, Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) Client was used to synchronize between Active Directory and SharePoint. The new release of SharePoint does not use it at all. The standard way of importing users now is via Active Directory Import. You can still use third-party products, as well as the new Microsoft Identity Manager 2016 version.

Excel Services in SharePoint

In SharePoint 2016, Excel Services and its associated business intelligence capabilities have been removed. The Excel Services piece has moved into a new Office Web Apps product, Office Online Server, which is now in preview. Not only has functionality been moved, but certain features have been completely deprecated.

SharePoint server 2016 Site collection Upgrade.

SharePoint server 2016 Site collection Upgrade.


SharePoint Server 2016 introduces a new site collection upgrade experience. There are three ways to upgrade a site collection:

• In conjunction with content databases upgrade
• On-browse upgrade
• Manually triggered by using Windows PowerShell

Content databases upgrade:

To upgrade the databases run the Mount-SPContentDatabase cmdlet. After the databases, have been upgraded the site collections are automatically upgraded during database upgrade process by default.

On-browse upgrade:

You do not need to know whether the site collection has pending upgrade, SharePoint decides it for you during the upgrade process. Once the site is browsed, SharePoint checks if the site needs to be upgraded, if so, the site will be put in a queue and a timer job will pick it up for upgrade.

Farm administrators can use Windows PowerShell to upgrade a site collection.

Manually trigger site upgrade:

 You can use the Upgrade-SPSite cmdlet to manually upgrade the site collection
