I'd also like to mention that this is not the first time installing an NPM RC with UDT has bit me. rob.hock Please make sure UDT is included in your regression testing.
Also, stating that RC's have full support is not completely true. My Solarwinds installation is not fully functional, and we have to what until the next release until it is fixed. The last time this happened, one of the developers got on the line and fixed the issue. Case # 758509
