Issue with Table Naming Conventions and Policy Management in SQL Server 2016

In SQL Server 2012, I had a policy set to not allow spaces in a table name. However, when I use the same policy in SQL Server 2016, I get an error. Here is the code for the condition: DECLARE @condition_id INT EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_syspolicy_add_condition @name=N'No Spaces', @description=N'No spaces in table names.', @facet=N'IMultipartNameFacet', @expression=N' Bool NOT_LIKE 2 String Name String System.String % % ', @is_name_condition=4, @obj_name=N'% %', @condition_id=@condition_id OUTPUT SELECT @condition_id Here is the code for the policy:

The batch has been aborted. And if I run the following code, I get no error: CREATE TABLE [testtable] (Id INT NULL) However, if I run any CREATE TABLE statement, with the policy enabled, on SQL Server 2016, I get the following error: > Policy 'Table Names' has been violated by > 'SQLSERVER:\SQL\LSRSQL07\SQL2016\Databases\test\Tables\dbo.testtable'. > This transaction will be rolled back. Policy condition: '@Name NOT > LIKE '% %'' Policy description: '' Additional help: '' : '' Statement: > 'CREATE TABLE [testtable] (Id INT NULL)'.

INSERT fails. The statement has been > terminated. In SQL Server 2016, I *cannot create any table*, whether it passes the condition or not. This is SQL Server 2016, SP1, CU3. Any ideas on this? Edit: I am needing the evaluation mode to be "On change: prevent"
