Thanks for the post(s), Erin. Would please consider modifying here where you say, "Unsupported scenarios specific to SSMS are documented in the release notes", so that it links to the section of the release notes on those issues? The direct anchor link would be https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/release-notes-ssms-20?view=sql-server-ver16#known-issues-using-strict-encryption-200-preview-1
If you appreciate that suggestion, a related one would be to change the link right it to instead also go to the specific section of the TDS 8.0 doc discussing the matter, which is https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/security/networking/tds-8?view=sql-server-ver16#features-that-dont-support-forcing-strict-encryption
Note in both that the difference is the anchor portion following the # in the url. Just trying to help.
