It would be nice if the is an List of the new cmdlet like Copy-SPSite.

But i think first you can compare the output of Get-Command from SP2013 and SP2016.

So far I've not seen any new commands for PowerShell targeted for SharePoint 2016 Preview. There are only 13 PowerShell commands listed in the TechNet article Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview reference:

Database

Dismount-SPContentDatabase
Dismount-SPContentDatabase
Test-SPContentDatabase

Administer security

Add-SPShellAdmin
Get-SPShellAdmin
Remove-SPShellAdmin

Service application

Install-SPService
Get-SPService
Start-SPService
Stop-SPService

Manage server

Get-SPServer
Rename-SPServer
Set-SPServer

But if not already implemented, we can expect to have all SharePoint Server 2013 cmdlets in the preview, RTM and/or first product release.

For a complete list of new and updated Windows PowerShell commands related to SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview see also https://technet.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/ee662539(v=office.16).aspx. SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview will also carry forward many of the Windows PowerShell commands that exist in SharePoint Server 2013. If there is a specific command expected that is it not available please let us know.

Thanks,

Bill

While Microsoft SharePoint Insights is included in SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview it is not yet available for configuration in this release. We'll continue to update our documentation throughout the Preview to make available additional documentation related to new Features and capabilities in SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview on TechNet at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc303422(v=office.16).aspx or subscribe to updates at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn789211(v=office.14).aspx.

not yet, but it's trivial to do a compare using Get-Command which will produce output showing the cmdlets that are new and the ones that have been removed.

Some of the new cmdlets have been detailed by Trevor Seward on his blog

Benny,

I am the writer responsible for documenting Windows PowerShell for SharePoint. Most of the SharePoint 2013 cmdlets documentation does apply for SharePoint Server 2016, however all of the new cmdlets for SharePoint Server 2016 WILL be documented by RTM.

If there is a specific cmdlet(s) you would like to see documented before RTM, please let me know

You can do a Get-Command -Module Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell | select -expand Name > cmdlets.txt on both servers, and then diff the files. From what I've compared there are:

Removed cmdlets:

- and others...
