• Adds optional parameter @multi_subnet_failover to sp_adddistributor.
• Adds configurable full-text search batch timeout via sp_fulltext_service 'batch_timeout'.
• Adds support for symbolic links in the getattribute API.

• Linked server queries using MSDASQL with a provider string may fail with error 7416.
