I have three servers with SQL Server 2008 R2 and one server &nbsp;with SQL Server 2008. The SCE was able to monitor SQL Server 2008 but not SQL Server 2008 R2.</p> <p>Am I missing something or SCE is limited to SQL Server 2008 only?</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3534098" width="1" height="1">
