Hi,
I still have an issue of installing SQL Management Studio 2012 or even any version, so it gives me errors and i don't know what to so with that. Many people saw that issue and no body could fix it, i really need your help and why SQL Management Studio can't
be installed in my Windows 7 64 bit
Thanks so much
Raed

SQL Management Studio Installation Problems

My hard drive crash and I'm forced to use Windows 8 on my laptop for a while. Visual Studio 2012 installed okay but I cannot get the SQL Management Studio to install.
I have SQL Management Studio 2005 CD's and I've also tried to download and install the 2008 version.
But no matter what I do I cannot get one to them to install and run. It always tells me I have compatibility problems.
I'm desperate. I need this to work.
Can someone please tell me how to get SQL Management Studio 2005 32 or 64 bit to run on on this Window 8 box?
Or any version of SQL Management Studio to install and run.
BTW, I've tried running in compatibility mode.

FIrst of all, please notice that SSMS 2005 will probably not fit windows 8, but I am not sure about this (the SQL
Server 2005 do not fit). Please check this link before you wasted your time :-)
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
"SQL Server 2005 (the release version and service packs) and earlier versions of SQL Server are not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8. You will receive a warning in the Action Center if Windows 8.1
or Windows 8 detects an instance of SQL Server 2005."
You can use any version from 2008 and above.
* If you are using 2008 express, then you must manually install Service Pack 3, after you install SQL Server 2008 Express Edition. In any case we are not at that point since your issue is with the installation itself :-)
**** For our case *****
1. You did not post your errors log till this time :-(
You only gave us stories, and no facts
2. If you are using the free edition EXPRESS, then you probably be better with the new version SQL EXPRESS 2014.
* You are talking about the SSMS which is not the SQL Server, but just a client application. Do you have a server to connect to?
if not, then you probably wanted to install the SQL Server with the SSMS tool, no?
You can get the new version (no so new) 2014 here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42299
There are several files to download there:
* SQLEXPRADV: include the SQL Server and all the extra tools (including the server, Express Tools, Reporting Services, and Full Text Search, and more), is my prefered option for all developers and people that learn and use the SQL Server locally.
* SqlLocalDB: This is a different version that is much better for developers in most cases which they need to store the database in the application, it came to replace the EXPRESS "user instance".
* SQLManagementStudio: this is only the SSMS without the server!
* SQLEXPRWT: this is the basic version which include the basic tools
* SQLEXPR: this is only the server (this is what people install on production in lot of cases, when they do not want any extra tools)
*** If you have option to use windows 8.1 instead of 8, then you will feel that it is easier. I have to say that I too don't like the windows 8/8.1/2012/2012r2 but the 8.1/2012r2 brought back some of the old features and are better.

I am trying connect to a SQL instance for our CRM program and I am receiving To Connect to this Server you must use SQL Management Studio or SQL Server Management

I am trying connect to a SQL instance for our CRM program and I am receiving To Connect to this Server you must use SQL Management Studio or SQL Server Management
This is a Brand new Server 2012 that is running our CRM product and it is trying to connect to a Server 2008 R2 server with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 instance (10.50.4000)
I have seen this in the past where it needed the 2005 backwards compatibility components installed but those are not supported on 2012 server and this is not a 2005 SQL instance.
I am trying to install the Shared Management Objects for SQL Server 2008 but it tells me I need to install the CLR types, which I did install. But it continues to tell me to install the CLR types.
Has anyone ran into any issues like this? (this happens trying to connect to multiple SQL Servers from this new 2012 Server)
Thanks!
-Max

Hello,
Which version and edition of the SQL Server instance did you installed on the new server machine? If you install SQL Server 2012 Express edition, you can try to install SQL Server Management Studio 2012 from
this link.
You can connect to SQL Server 2008 R2 or earily verions with SSMS 2012.
What's more, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Management Objects Collection requires Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 6.0, Microsoft SQL Server Native Client, and Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types. You can try to download and install
SQL Serve 2008 Feature Pack
which contains packages above.

Choppy/blurry text in SQL Management Studio Scripts

Hi All I hope someone can help.
For some reason my SQL Management Studio scripting window looks blurry; there seems to be a lot of missing pixels.
I've restarted my machine, tried reset the font options but still can't see why this has started suddenly looking like this.
I would add a screen shot but this forum won't allow me to do this yet.

Ok, has your machine been updated recently?
When there is an issue with rendering it tends to be a performance issue and a reboot of your machine would normally fix this; however as you have done this then it is something else that is causing the issue.
Check the AV settings in case SSMS is constantly being scanned. Check any recent updates in case these are impacting SSMS. Has something else been recently installed that could be impacting performance? If you have a desktop support
team then engage with them as they will probably have a better understanding of your machine.
How many versions of SQL Server are on your machine? Again older versions can cause an issue if you're using something like Version 7 or 2000 on a recent Windows OS.
Please click "Mark As Answer" if my post helped. Tony C.

Ms Sql Management Studio 2014 Express + Azure

Hi everyone
I have SSMS 2014 Express and I use Azure SQL DB with SQL Database Update V12 (preview).
Now I have the restricted access to my DB from ssms, but there (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlreleaseservices/archive/2014/12/18/sql-server-2014-management-studio-updated-support-for-the-latest-azure-sql-database-update-v12-preview.aspx) talks about the enhanced
functionality. I can not find this update for ssms. Please help me, where I can get this update?

I have installed MS SQL Management Studio 2014. After that I have installed CU5 from link in your previous post.
There was no change. After your last post I have installed
CU6, but again there was no change.
Now I have this:
MS SQL Management Studio about window:
In Azure:
I'm sorry for russian language in screenshot, I don't know how to change it to english.
No error occurs.
GUI can not do anything with the database
in Azure. I can only see the list
of tables, and I can do a sql queries.
But in the local database in the GUI
all the features are present
Hi AndrewG42,
I notice that you are using the latest version of SQL Azure database (13.0.15). I suspect there’s no update in SSMS 2014 for this version of SQL Azure database.
In other words, these features (select top 1000 rows, table designer, etc) are only going to be present with SSMS connecting to Azure v12 which version number is 12.0.2000.8.
Personally, regarding to above issue, I recommend you submit a feedback at

Deploy SQL Management Studio 2012 through SCCM

Hello,
Has anyone successfully deployed SQL Management Studio 2012 with SCCM?
A couple of specific questions:
- Which folder from the SQL Media is required to ensure that only Management Studio deploys (we would like to limit the size of the deployment Package)?
- What command line options do we need to use to install the Advanced version of Management Studio with all of the Tools and Books Online. I have found the following but there is not a clear distinction about what is required and what is optional:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx
- Can someone confirm the following command line options for machine that has 2008 R2 Management Studio on it?
Setup.exe /q /ACTION=upgrade /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=Tools
- Can someone confirm the following command line options for a new installation of 2012 Management Studio?
Setup.exe /q /ACTION=Install /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=Tools
- Do I need to use /PID for the product key if I am only installing Management Studio?
Thank you,
Matt

Hello,
I had a couple of failed upgrades involving SSMS while testing on one of my laptops with a Hyper-V machine. I couldn’t blog about it because I couldn’t find the reason myself. I ended uninstalling the tools on SQL Server 2008 R2, and then proceeding with the
upgrade. Both issues occurred with RC0. I used Hyper-V snapshots to create restore points.
Besides that I had some issues enabling .NET Framework on Windos Server 8 using the GUI. However, enabling .NET Framework from the command prompt works perfectly.
Hope this helps.

where is it?

You can download Management studio express from
this link. Click on download and you would see
ENU\x64\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe this is what you need to download from SSMS if you have 64 bit system. If you have 32 bit scroll further down and you would see this
ENU\x86\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe
Please also upgrade SSMS to SQL Server 2012 SP2 its advisable.With SSMS express patched to SP2 you could get feature almost same as normal SQL Server 2012 SSMS

SQL 2012 SP2 - Cannot open Maintenance Plans in SQL Management Studio

Hello...
We have a number of SQL 2012 SP2 instances running on Server 2012 R2 where we cannot open any Maintenance Plans via the SQL Management Studio.
At times we've received an error message screen when attempting to open the Plan, but most of the time just nothing happens when you try to open the Plan.
I cannot get any of them to display the error now to even provide more information there.
This happens even after a reboot and/or restarting SQL server.
Everything else seems to be working and we can examine the individual pieces under the SQL Server Agent -> Jobs, but we cannot open the Maintenance Plan itself.
We can even create new Plans via the "Maintenance Plan Wizard" but not from "New Maintenance Plan" and once a Plan exists, we can't open it.
As a test, I tried connecting from a SQL 2008 R2 server and am able to open the plans, so it appears to be a SQL 2012 Management Studio issue rather than the Plans.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you...

Hello,
Once you modify and save a maintenance plan with a greater version of SSMS (let’s say SSMS 2014) you cannot modify it again
with an earlier version of SSMS again ( SSMS 2012 or earlier). That may be a possibility.
If you did not modify the maintenance plan with SSMS 2014, then try to repair SQL Server 2012, apply the latest service
pack (SP2), or try to uninstall only SSMS and reinstall it again.
If you have Visual Studio installed, please apply the latest update.
Hope this helps.

How do I load an SSIS package created in Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Integrated) onto SQL Server 2012 using SQL Management Studio 2012

I am fairly new to this whole process of working with the Microsoft development environment. Here is what I have to work with:
an NT server running Microsoft SQL 2012 - Microsoft SQL Server Standard (64-bit) 11.0.2100.60
and on my laptop (all freebie downloads):
SQL Server Management Studio 2012 ver 11.0.2100.60
Visual Studio 2012 Express for Desktop Development and
Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Integrated)
I was able to create an SSIS package in
2012 Shell (Integrated). It takes a flat file and imports it into an SQL database table. It runs successfully from within the
2012 Shell (Integrated) envrionment.
But I am having trouble figuring out how to set this up on the 2012 SQL Server. I see that one of my colleagues created an Integration Services Catalog,
and using SQL Management Studio I was able to create a folder under that called DigLic. But when I go to the Projects subfolder of DigLic and attempt to import my SSIS package, I get an error message:
"To launch the Integration Services Deployment wizard, one of the components: Integration Services, Management Tools - Basic or Business Intelligence Development Studio has to be installed by the SQL Server
2012 Standard, Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation Edition. To install a component, run SQL Server Setup and Select the component name"
I realize that Express Versions of Visual Studio lack the full feature set of a professional version. But am I wrong in assuming that owning a server version of SQL Server 2012 gives us license to a professional
version of SQL Management Studio 2012? If so, how would I go about getting this software component installed? And I am not clear if this is something that needs to be installed on our SQL Server or if I simply need a professional version of SSMS
loaded on my laptop.
I work for a company that is fairly fractured in its repsonsibilities, so I would need to know exactly what to ask for if I need to track down any licenses that I might need and if I need to have any specific software installed on our SQL server or on my
laptop.
All helpt would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Arthur,
Thank you for your reply. But at this point, one of my points of confusion is what software I have available to me. I wish I had a useful central help desk to call up and just say, "Hey, load me up with all of the professional version(s) of Visual
Studio. But I do not know what we have license to. And I kind of need to know what the options are, so that I can ask a specific question of our vast buracracy.
For now, I have downloaded only free versions of Visual Studio client software. Since my company does have servers running Microsoft SQL Server, I am going to assume that we have proper licensing for those servers. But does that server license
allow me to get any professional versions of the PC client software for the various Visual Studio(s) 2012?
And if I get a professional version of Visual Studio 2012, does that do away with the three different flavors that I have right now? I have 2012 versions of SQL Server Management Studio, Visual Studio Express, and Visual Studio Shell (Integrated).
Your feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Don't have permission to do anything in SQL Management Studio 2012

I have installed SQL Server 2012 with SQL Management Studio on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1. When I log into Studio, it won't let me do anything other than view. I am using Windows Authentication and am logged in as a domain user with local admin
rights. I installed SQL with this same account. If I try to use SQL Authentication, I can't figure out the default password for "sa". Any ideas as to how to get access to this so I can create new databases from within Studio?

I am using express. Should I try developer instead? I should mention that I also have whatever version of SQL Server Express came with my Visual Studio 2013 when I installed it.
Express should work fine.
When you install SQL Server, there is a screen where you are supposed to enter a Windows user that is to have sysadmin permissions. There is a button "Add Current User" which is convenient.
On the same screen you can also specify that you want to have SQL Server authentication enabled, and in this case you must specify the sa password. That is, there is no default password.
Now, I don't install Express Edition very often, but I seem to recall that the Express install by default skips some of the screens unless you press an "Advanced" button along the way. The screen I'm talking about may be one them. But in
that case, I would expect the user under which you ran the install to be added as sysadmin.
