Is .NET Framework 3.5 still needed with a SQL Server 2017 installation to utilize Database Mail?












4















I'm guessing .NET Framework 3.5 is still needed to use Database Mail with SQL Server 2017? As I had to include this on my SQL Server 2016 installs on Server 2016 not that long ago.



I was unable to find a definitive answer via the web, surprisingly, maybe it goes unsaid.

          No, it is not required for SQL Server 2017. The issue with Database Mail not working was fixed in 2016 SP1 CU2, and 2016 RTM CU2:
          FIX: SQL Server 2016 Database Mail does not work on a computer that does not have the .NET Framework 3.5 installed or stops working after applying SQL Server update



          I know of several SQL Server 2016 and 2017 systems that are installed without .NET 3.51, and Database Mail is working fine.



          Note that .NET Framework 3.5 was not included in Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server, and that the SQL Server 2016 and SQL Server 2017 view of this page is the same. The Database Mail issue was considered a defect in SQL Server 2016 and was fixed accordingly.

          • Great, thanks for the clarification, yes I recall the dubious CU for SQL 2016 that broke database mail, so I ran around verifying that .net 3.5 was installed. Good times.

          ASUS Zenbook UX433/UX333 — Configure Touchpad-embedded numpad on Linux

          Image
          0 1 I have an ASUS Zenbook UX433,on which ASUS decided to innovate by embedding a Numpad inside the touchpad (see picture 1). Toggling between classic touchpad mode and numpad (also turns the touchpad LEDs on) can be done through the golden button in the top-right corner of the touchpad. However, on my Manjaro arch Linux config, this behavior does not work by default and I can only use the touchpad, no numpad. Has anyone been able to configure the numpad to work on Linux, or have any idea how this could be achieved? EDIT1: I have had a look at the official Windows drivers for the UX433FA TouchPad, but was not able to make anything of it. I tried installing them on Linux using tools like NDISWrapper, but they do not detect the TouchPad/Numpad hardware, and my understanding of drivers is too limited. ...
