Run Policies /Surface Area Configuration - Bug

Hi!

I've created the "Off By Default Policy" as described in BOL (ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v10/MS.SQLSVR.v10.en/s10de_4deptrbl/html/41c3022d-ab13-443e-ac64-ba1d64584f79.htm) for SQL Mail and Database Mail.

When I then activate SQL Mail and Database Mail through Surface Area Configuration (without closing it!) and then run the policy and configure it (so that SQL Mail and Database Mail) is then off, these changes are not reflected by Surface Area Configuration.

You must restart Surface Area Configuration, so that you can see the changes.

The SAC doesn't auto refresh but that seems quite normal to me.

Maybe a refresh button would be nice since restarting is not an intuitive way to refresh of course :-)

The Surface Area Configuration tool will most likely be pulled in a later CTP; probably as soon as we can support all of the server types (DB Engine, Analysis Services, and Reporting Services) in Management Studio using policies. For now you'll need to close and re-open the Surface Area Configuration tool to see the changes.

Cheers,
