After installation, remember to run the SharePoint 2016 Products Configuration Wizard (SharePoint 2016 Products Configuration Wizard), or the following command:
PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd secureresources -cmd services -install
Notice
Feature Pack 2 also includes all functionality from Feature Pack 1.
Always install both packages in this order:
- language independent (updates language-independent components)
- language dependent (updates language-dependent components)
For language-dependent packages, it does not matter which language you select, as each package contains updates for all languages.
If you install a new language pack on your SharePoint Server 2016 farm, you must then reinstall the language-dependent update package.
Remember that Distributed Cache must also be updated alongside SharePoint; see How to update Distributed Cache correctly and for Office Online Server, you must have the current RTM release; see How to update Office Online Server.
Included fixes and improvements
The fixes and improvements listed for this CU are excerpts from official Microsoft KB articles in their original language (EN).
SharePoint Server 2016
This security update resolves a cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability that exists if Microsoft SharePoint Server does not correctly sanitize a specially crafted web request to an affected SharePoint server. To learn more about the vulnerability, see the following:
- Microsoft Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures CVE-2019-1201
- Microsoft Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures CVE-2019-1202
- Microsoft Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures CVE-2019-1203
This security update contains the following improvements in SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016:
- Improved SharePoint search compatibility with PDF files.
- General improvements for notebooks in folders that are synced through OneDrive.
This security update contains fixes for the following nonsecurity issues in SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016:
- Fix: When a validation is added to a column within a document library, folder creation fails and generates a “Cannot create folder” error message.
- Fix: Search and Distributed Cache servers in a MinRole farm that have custom web templates display “Upgrade Required” after you run an in-place build-to-build upgrade. After this update is applied, the servers display “No Action Required.”
- Fix: When you try to run a SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow as a user if you have an ampersand character in your username, or in a domain that has an ampersand character in its name, the workflow fails.
- Fix: When a website URL contains a space, the Newsfeed link to it fails.
This security update contains improvements and fixes for the following nonsecurity issues in Project Server 2016:
- Through the client-side object model (CSOM), the TaskLink ProjUid property for an external task returns the ID of its own project instead of the ID of the project that the task refers to. This update adds the ExternalProjectUid and ExternalTaskUid properties to the Task class to fix this issue.
- Fix: When the database upgrade sequence of the SharePoint Server 2016 Products Configuration Wizard runs, the Central Admin Database is unexpectedly added to the Project Server database schema. This may cause reporting issues and violations to health rules to run against the Central Admin Database.
- Fix: When you view the resource engagements Resource Requests page that is formatted to show timephased data, it may take several minutes for the page to render, depending on the number and complexity of the engagements.
- Fix: The CalendarException.RecurrenceWeek property returns the wrong value through the client-side object model (CSOM).
- Fix: When the Schedule Variance Percentage (SVP) earned value field becomes very large, an overflow condition occurs that prevents PWA project views from loading.
-
Fix: The project Start Date that is displayed in Project Detail Pages (PDPs) in Project Web App (PWA) doesn’t match what is displayed in the Project Information dialog box in Project Professional 2016.
