- Is the Management pack going to be updated any time soon for the R2 features?
- I'm not sure what R2 features would necessitate management pack monitoring (can you let me know what ones you are insterested in specifically). However, I'll check to see if there are any plans for an updated version.
I checked, and there are no plans for an updated management pack for SP1 or R2.
