Coming up.
We'll go hands-on with some of the latest capabilities in SharePoint Server 2016
we've added since release candidate.
Including durable links that always work despite name and location changes.
Updates to the admin experiences in SharePoint.
And new hybrid options that integrate with select Office 365 services
while keeping your data on premises.
With SharePoint Server 2016
we're focused on infrastructure improvements and manageability updates
to create a foundation for the future.
For everyone who's ever use SharePoint
let's start with durable links.
In this particular example
Katie shared a document with me that she'd like me to review
SharePoint Server 2016 Quick Start Guide.docx.
We can click on the link and the document opens in Word online.
However, one of the most common operations people perform against documents
is renaming the document itself.
So in this example
we'll take this particular document and we'll rename it to 'Final'
signifying that I've reviewed the document
and I've now marked as final.
So the new document name is
SharePoint Server 2016 Quick Start Guide (Final).
However, in SharePoint 2016 with durable links
I can go back to the original email
select the link
and it becomes resilient in that it continues to work
regardless of this file has been renamed or moved.
That is one of the simple admin experiences
that we've introduced in SharePoint Server 2016.
So hopefully this also means
fewer troubleshooting help desk calls for admins.
Speaking of which.
There are a number of new admin options for
integrating with select Office 365 services.
For example, in SharePoint Server 2016
we can quickly configure hybrid options with Office 365
through a selection pane in central administration.
You can select the office 365 node
and you can configure scenarios such as hybrid OneDrive and site's features.
So as you can see here
we have the 'my site' URL
which enables both redirection of OneDrive for Business storage
as well as configuring profile redirection
with Office 365.
I can specify an audience I'd like to redirect
and then I can choose
one of the many hybrid options I'd like to configure in my environment.
Similarly in Office 365
we've also been able to cloud driven hybrid picker.
This enables you to take advantage of the latest hybrid capabilities.
What you can see here today
are the same options available through central administration.
Which include hybrid OneDrive
and hybrid SharePoint sites.
Now let's take a look at some of the user experiences after we've configured hybrid
using the options I previously showed you.
So as you can see here in SharePoint Server 2016
one of the core investments that we've made
is delivering global navigation through the app launcher.
And SharePoint 2016 when you're considering a hybrid environment
you have a number of options available to you
including your on-premises applications
as well as custom tiles in Office 365 services
such as Delve, video, sites and Yammer.
The hybrid team sites option
provides an aggregate view of sight membership
across both on premise as well as Office 365.
So as you can see here
I have membership across my own premises SharePoint sites
as well as those in the cloud.
And I also gain the benefit of intelligent recommendations
based on the Office graph.
Similarly for aggregation purposes
hybrid search enables you to discover content
across both office 365 and your on-premises deployments.
So I can search for a term such as 'marketing'
and I can retrieve content from locations
both on-premises as well as Office 365.
It also opens up the opportunity
to leverage the Office graph and Delve against your own premises content.
So I can perform the same search query for 'marketing'
and I can return documents across Office 365
and SharePoint Server 2016.
In addition to that as we discussed earlier
you can also configure your hybrid deployment
to support redirection of your profile to Office 365 as well.
These are an example
of some of the great hybrid options
that are available in SharePoint Server 2016
And for compliance
we're also introducing the ability for you to configure a hybrid auditing option
which lets you take advantage of the latest innovation in Office 365
such as those available through the Office 365 Protection Center
against your content stored both in the cloud
and on-premises.
So as you can see here
I've already ran an audit log search across both my cloud
and on-premises content
And the benefit that you gain from this
is that you have all of the capability available to you
through the Office 365 Protection Center
against your own premises content.
So I can search across checked in files
restored files, updated files and more.
These are just a few of the updates we've made since release candidate.
If you've not been evaluating SharePoint Server 2016 until now
there's a lot more to try out.
Including new flexible setup options for role-based installations
zero downtime patching to ensure SharePoint always stays up
even during servicing
and Information Protection enhancements with data loss prevention
in addition to tighter integration with Exchange Server 2016
to enable modern attachments.
