This is a new install of the latest version of NPM with its SQL DB installed on a separate 2014 SQL server. Is there a way to stop this message through making a change on the NPM server?
I recommend you handle this through SolarWinds support.
I am testing the product before we purchase it. Can I get support on a demo? If not any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
SolarWinds sales can take care of you for issues you encounter while evaluating.
If you want to investigate further yourself, the next step would be to find out more about spid 77. I would start with "exec sp_who2" and look at the info for spid 77, especially the HostName and ProgramName columns.
You might be able to disable it, looks like some tracing got turned on...
