I have found that the monitoring of DNS has stopped when the DC servers were upgraded to 2016. On looking at the managment packs, the latest DNS MPs specify SCOM 2016 and above. The DNS MPs for SCOM 2012 seem to only cover DNS on windows 2012 servers  
Am I missing something? It is not possible at the moment to upgrade SCOM in the organisation.
