Thanks Jiri. That's what I anticipated to be SolarWinds' response. Since we're just doing 2012 R2 OS upgrade, I think I will give 2012 R2 a shot and see how it goes and hopefully be successful and hold us until we get through testing v11. I can always fallback to the 2003 server running 7.2.2.
I can't upgrade to 7.3.2 yet. We want to retain the configuration history and plan to merge NCM and NPM probably after the first of year but we have to upgrade NPM to v11 first. We just installed v11.0.1 on a dev system over the past weekend and will start testing later in the week. Unfortunately, found one bug in v11 right off the bat.
Thanks for you feedback!
Still interested in any NCM customer comments on the posted question.
