Issue/Introduction

Unable to push new task servers to computers with .Net 4.7.

Environment

SMP 7.6 and 8.0

Resolution

Update the Potential Task Servers filter definition ( found in Manage> Filters> Computer Filters> Task Service Filters> Potential Task Servers ) to the following:

-- get current NS version
DECLARE @majorVersion float
DECLARE @version varchar(40)
DECLARE @pos int
declare @thisNS uniqueidentifier
SET @version = (SELECT TOP 1 Version FROM DBSchema ORDER BY Id DESC)
-- position of second dot
SET @pos = CHARINDEX( '.', @version,  CHARINDEX( '.', @version ) + 1 )
SET @majorVersion = CAST( SUBSTRING( @version, 1, @pos - 1 ) AS float )
SET @thisNS = (select Value from ServerSettingGuids where [Name] = 'OwnerNSGuid')
