In this blog post I will be covering all the key features, new additions, deprecations and removal of old features in SharePoint 2019. In short this blog will give you a nice overview of SharePoint 2019, so let’s gets started…
[Disclaimer: All features and contents discussed in this blog are subjected to change in future as this blog is written on the preview version of SharePoint Server 2019]
Considering demand of Microsoft SharePoint on-premises version from different customers, new release of SharePoint 2019 is also targeted to on-premises. Microsoft SharePoint server 2019 is built on the foundational release of Microsoft SharePoint 2016. This new release has been targeted to Brings customers closer to the cloud and the cloud, closer to our customers. Similar to SharePoint 2016, most of the features were cherry picked from Office 365 and implemented in SharePoint 2019.
The key point about implementation of SharePoint 2019 is Converged Code, it means that the codebase used for SharePoint online feature implementation and SharePoint 2019 On-prim editions are one and same. So, henceforth any new feature addition in SharePoint online will be immediately available for SharePoint on-prim version as well, this was not the case in the past releases of SharePoint versions and hence it was taking more time to launch/release any new feature in on-prim
Hardware requirements for SharePoint server 2019 are similar to that of SharePoint 2016 server and there is no change as such. (more details can be found at – https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/install/hardware-and-software-requirements-2019). Good news is that SharePoint 2019 supports for Minrole + Stretched Farm Architecture.
Similar to that of SharePoint 2016, there is no more a SharePoint foundation 2019. Below are the different versions available for SharePoint 2019
Now let’s discuss the important section of blog, i.e. what’s new / improved in SharePoint 2019
Access Service 2010 / 2013 | Machine Translation service | Digest Authentication |
Aggregated newsfeeds | Performance Point service | Incoming email automatic mode |
Custom help | SharePoint designer | Multi-Tenancy |
Groove Sync client | Site Mailbox | PowerPivot Gallery and Refresh |
InfoPath services | Site Manager | Visio services – Silverlight based rendering |
Lists web services | Code based sandbox Solutions |
As you can see Microsoft has introduced great set of features in on-prim release of SharePoint 2019 which is expected to be available for General public (i.e. RTM release) in October 2019. At the same time, source code used for SharePoint 2016 was the SharePoint online source code, which in turn based on SharePoint 2013 source code, indicates SharePoint 2016 is stable and same is applicable for SharePoint 2019. I would like to end this blog with two statements i.e. SharePoint is not only to dump your documents rather it’s to make wonders and keep SharePointing always.
