    Did you guys even test this before it left the factory ? The Extension pack is still trying to use TRIPLE_DES for the password security which is a deprecated feature in SQL 2016 ! I assume as part of the install script its doing something like this CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY TestTableKeyWITH ALGORITHM = TRIPLE_DES ENCRYPTIONBY CERTIFICATE EncryptTestCertPlease test the extension pack and make sure compatibility mode is 130 !
