Article
04/01/2012

The SQLServer:Deprecated Features object in SQL Server provides a counter to monitor the features designated as deprecated. In each case the counter provides a usage count that lists the number of times the deprecated feature was encountered since SQL Server last started.

The following table describes the SQL Server Deprecated Features counter instances.

SQL Server Deprecated Features counter instances	Description
