Can someone clarify whether the built-in SQL Server management agent in MIM 2016 SP2 can support TLS 1.2? The sync engine database is on a locally installed SQL Server instance and it doesn't have any trouble. However, whenever I disable TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 via the registry and restart, I am unable to get my SQL MA connecting to a remote SQL Server instance to connect. I've installed the latest OLE DB driver (18.4) and the MS SQL Server 2012 Native Client build 11.4.7462.6 is also installed. I can use SQL Server Management Studio 18.5 (build 15.0.18330.0) to connect to the remote instance from the MIM server, so I'm pretty sure the issue is not at the OS or network level.
Based on what I have seen online, indications are that TLS 1.2-only environments should be supported, but the documentation could be read as the product can be installed with 1.2 but the MAs are not specifically called out.
This is a fresh install of MIM on Windows Server 2016. (We're replacing FIM 2010-not-R2 and I don't know that we can locate the installers required to do the step-wise upgrades required to maintain the old metaverse.)
Thanks for any information or suggestions you can offer.
