Estate view (SQL Server version) Discrepancies
For the SQL 2016 versions of SQL Server, we are seeing the software is flagging as "not current". However, we do have the latest SP/GDR.
This issue lies with the Azure Connect Feature which only applies to connections to Azure based on an article we read. . (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/sql/releases/sqlserver-2016/build-versions)
We do not use Azure so we feel that this should not be a required patch.
Available from version 14.0.13 (July 19, 2024).
The Versions page under Estate will no longer recommend users to update instances of SQL Server 2016 to the latest Azure Connect Feature Pack GDR unless that instance is already using an earlier version of it.
