Managing SQL Server 2008 with Management Studio 2005

12 Oct 2012 When you google "SQL Management Studio", one of the first things that comes up is this (the 2005 version): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8961

I recommend not installing 2005 if you have SQL Server 2008 Express installed! You will not be able to manage your 2008 server, and you will need to uninstall management studio to install the 2008 version here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22985
