Released: Public Preview for SQL Server 2017+ and Replication Management Pack (RC)

October 7, 2017   BI News and Info

We are happy to announce SQL Server 2017+ Management Pack Release Candidate with new features is ready (6.7.65.0). Please install and use this public preview and send us your feedback (sqlmpsfeedback@microsoft.com).

NEW: Version Agnostic SQL Server MPs

We understand that with many SQL Server versions in market and with new server releases becoming more frequent, it is becoming harder to manage a separate MP for each server version. We are moving to version agnostic MPs to address this issue. This will be valid going forward. The new MP is named SQL Server 2017+. The ‘+’ in the name indicates that it will be used to monitor SQL Server 2017 and the releases that come after that. Current in-market MPs (2008 through 2016) will not be changed and the 2017+ MP cannot be used to monitor older releases. We are making this change for SQL Server and Replication MPs. It would be great to get your feedback on this public preview before we reach GA.
