### Known Issues
MSSQL 2008 and 2008 R2 engine cannot handle login records when SSL encryption is not disabled. Due to this you may receive an `Login error: EOF` error when trying to create your datasource.
To fix MSSQL 2008 R2 issue, install MSSQL 2008 R2 Service Pack 2. To fix MSSQL 2008 issue, install Microsoft MSSQL 2008 Service Pack 3 and Cumulative update package 3 for MSSQL 2008 SP3.
