  In IDERA Dashboard, the Manage Instances view under the Administration view displays both monitored and unmonitored instances instead of only monitored instances. All users will be able to access the list of instances in the Instance Detail tab under IDERA Dashboard; however, only users with specific Dashboard access will be able to see the instance details.

  Scanning cross-domains using multiple accounts/credentials will not yield any discovered instances even if one of the supplied credentials in the multiple accounts setting is correct for that domain. At this time, multiple accounts/credentials only work for the same domain. For example, in your environment, IDERA SQL Inventory Manager 2.0 is installed on domain A and you request a scan of domain B. Even when using credentials that are included in the multiple credentials list, IDERA SQL Inventory Manager does not return results that include data from any outside domain. As an alternate, you can run the specific domain scan using specific Windows user or IDERA SQL Inventory Manager service account (under the domain setting).

When you run a scan using method other than SQL Server Resolution Services, it will run and scan and discover instances using the selected method. However, the discovery status log will have an incorrect log referencing SQL Server Resolution Services.

  When using the Setup Wizard to manage discovery, the IP Address Ranges and Domain Run Scan Now option is disabled even though an IP address or domain is selected. The workaround is to clear and then recheck those options.
