Deprecated/Removed features from SharePoint Server 2016
SharePoint Foundation: The free to use edition of SharePoint will no longer be a part of the Sharepoint 2016 suite. SharePoint foundation was a minimal SharePoint product which lacked enterprise features.
Standalone Install Mode: SharePoint 2016 cannot be installed in standalone mode. You will have to choose one of the 6 Mini Roles available during the configuration phase. The Single Server Farm option where everything is installed on the same computer is supported for dev purposes.
InfoPath: New version of InfoPath will not be released. The previous version InfoPath 2013 will be available and supported.
SharePoint Designer: A new version of SharePoint Designer will not be released with SharePoint 2016. The older version SharePoint Designer 2013 is available and will be supported.
Forefront Identity Manager Client (FIM): When you configure the User Profile Sync in Sharepoint 2013 you could choose “Profile Synchronization” which used FIM, or Active Directory import. But now FIM has been deprecated and only Active directory import is available. There is also an option to connect to external Sync services like Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM).
