Improvements and fixes

This CU brings a lot of SharePoint & Project Server fixes. Here is the list of fixes published by MSFT.

Project Server 2016

1. Timephased data on material resources may be incorrect if updates come from PWA. For example, you have a material contour that resembles the following,
   
   10,10,10,10
   
   In PWA, the team member reports the following
   
   5,10
   
   When the update is displayed in Project Professional, the material contour resembles the following,
   
   5,10,25
   
   Instead, the contour should be like,
   
   5,10,12.5,12.5

2. After you edit a project in PWA, formulas that rely on the Now() function and the [Current Date] property aren't calculated.

SharePoint Server 2016

Improvement

1. This update deletes the Napa install option from SharePoint Server 2016.
2. This update changes how IIS application pools are stopped and restarted during SharePoint patching to provide better patching performance.

Fixes

1. You don‘t receive the Check Out & Open prompt when you open documents in SharePoint Server 2016 in Adobe Acrobat DC.
2. When you set up an External Identity Manager, the group membership isn't synchronized as usual. This update now includes a new timer job "Updates Profile Memberships and Relationships Job" that runs by default every five minutes to update the changes after an import.
3. After you join a new server to a farm, the new farm can't detect the side-by-side farm settings and it won't copy the side-by-side files. This issue causes incorrect rendering of some web pages.

Language-Dependent Fix

1. None for this CU

Installation

As we know, this Month MSFT Release 2 CUs (one Include the LPs related fix and Other Non LP related fixes).

• No matter what, whether you have installed any languages packs in your farm or no language pack. You must install both packages followed by PSconfig wizard on all server in the farm one by one.
• So please install sts2016-kb3141515-fullfile-x64-glb.exe and wssloc2016-kb3141517-fullfile-x64-glb.exe

Prerequisite
