System Center 2019 released

March 14, 2019 Posted by Anders Asp

System Center 2019 has just been released and is available for download on both MVLS and MSDN / Visual Studio. In general, it’s a small release, and from a SCSM perspective the official news in this version are:

  • Support to SQL 2017
  • Improvement in Active Directory Connector
  • Improved UI Responsiveness
  • Enable Service Logon

Also, be sure to read all the Known Issues in this release here:

I’d hold back from upgrading my environments for a while until we’ve seen how stable the release is.

Also, from now on the semi-annual release cycle have been scrapped. So for those of you who went down that route you will now have to go back to the long term release cycle (in other words, SCSM 2019).
