SCOM 2012 R2: Different coallation settings now supported.

With the release of SCOM 2012 R2 Microsoft has official amended the supported SQL collation settings. In the past you had to use SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, this was due to the data warehouse being installed with this setting by default regardless of the SQL server collation setting. This was a nice addition which has been due for a long time, having collation mismatches between your OpsDB and DW can cause a whole host of issues which are well documented.

Of course the new settings only apply to fresh installations, when upgrading the previous collation settings will still be used.
