Prerequisites

Ensure to install the .NET Framework 4.5.2 or higher before importing Management Pack for Azure SQL Database.

Management Pack for Azure SQL Database doesn't support most of the non-printable characters, except #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF], which are supported. Using unsupported non-printable characters in object names leads to inevitable workflow failure.
