      Thanks for your message. Could you tell us more about suggestion and requirements you expect to see in the guides? Currently, we don't support Kevin's method for configuring SQL MP Run As profiles, but we could probably help you. Can you tell us why that method will be valid only until the next release?Drop us a message at sqlmpsfeedback@microsoft.com with your thoughts and concerns, please.

        I think the really useful will be :1) The monitor/rule that will detect 32bit sql server on x64 windows ! Like *32bit sql server on x64 os detected, not supported config...*2) Prevent monitoring clustered sql express editions ! Its can be clustered, but it will be never monitored but there will be alerts about it

          Hi Igor, thanks for your comment. We've put the both in our Product Backlog. The first item is an improvement and the second one looks as if there is an issue in the MPs. Thank you one more time for reporting them.
