TCP/IP Ports of SharePoint 2016
SharePoint 2016 huh?!
(Long time since I last posted anything real here…)
Actually, this post is by popular demand 🙂 This is the 2016 version of the post a wrote when SHarePoint 2013 was new, as you can see, not much has changed…I have updated a few lines with what I know now that I did not know then, thats it. Please let me know if I missed something.
The recommended approach is to create a GPO with these firewall rules and apply that rule to the SharePoint servers in your farm. Add all of them, best that way to avoid extreme t-shooting in the future.
Another but related recommendation is to configure the Loopback check funktion in Windows server to allow the FQDN’s of your web applications (Use the Loopback check tool).
List of ports used by SharePoint 2013 and its related services.

Office 365 News – OneDrive for Business now supports 10GB files and much more
Short story: The OneDrive for Business improvements are here!
This was promised to us a long time ago, and it has now finally come to be. At the same time, the 20.000 file limit from before has also been removed (Improved)
Here is the proof:
The file was in addition, uploaded using the new OneDrive sync client!
(Dropped the file in the local cache and let the sync do its stuff)
- The OneDrive for Business Next Generation Sync Client is available for Windows 7, 8 and 10 (8.1 support will be added in the first quarter of 2016) and Mac OS X 10.9 and above.
- Storage, rolling out is an increase from 1TB to 5TB, upon request, more will be made available until unlimited is achieved? (Valid for: Enterprise E3, E4 and E5, Government E3, E4 and E5, Education, OneDrive for Business Plan 2 and SharePoint Online Plan 2)
- 10GB filesize limit
- No more 20.000 file limit
- !! With this first release of several, the Next Generation Sync Client supports OneDrive for Business only, but we will add support for SharePoint document libraries in future releases. (This is the best news in a long time)
- In the interim, if customers require sync for both OneDrive for Business and SharePoint document libraries, the Next Generation Sync Client is designed to work side-by-side with the existing sync client.
- the OneDrive for iOS app will support offline storage. You can selectively flag files for local availability and open them when disconnected
- For developers: https://dev.onedrive.com/ (OneDrive developer portal)

Office 365 support for older Apple iOS devices degraded
(I never saw this logo ending up in my blog…)
Office 365 experience on iOS7 devices is changing
‘
In case you have not seen this small note, it may not affect a lot of people but for those of you out there on older iOS devices or that supports those units in your organizations, it may be important.
Details (Official Microsoft statement):
Microsoft are making some changes to the Office apps on iOS 7 devices. Beginning when Apple releases iOS 9, they will release updates to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint that will only work on iOS 8 and above. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote will no longer receive updates on iOS 7, but will continue to function with a degrading experience over time.
Microsoft strongly suggest communicating to your end users and recommend upgrading to iOS 8 or above.
