Hi Mike,
So it's not only CR that has issue but everything seems to be having a problem.
Curious, can you using OLE DB Test from MS downloads and connect to that SQL 2012 server?
WireShark should provide details why it fails also.
I ran the tool on my VM-ware image but now Remote Desktop can't connect, so it needs TLS 1.0 enabled but it is running so I can test what CR is doing. That MS KBA did not seem to work...
I've also ping DEV and we'll see what they have to say about this. I thnk the problem is this Compliancy may be to early and so everyone needs time to catch up and find work arounds to use 2.x...
Thanks again
Don
