It all depends on if whomever installed SQL Server if they installed the Management tools on the server.As far as installing Management Studio on your PC yes you can. You would simply used the same DVD/CD install for SQL Server and only pick the Management Tools when it comes time to pick what you want to install.Mon, 15 Oct 2012 12:52:00 GMTMarkushttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1372522-1292-1.aspxYou run the same installer but only choose the Management Tools when prompted for which components to install. No database engine, no Integration Services etc. etc.If you don't have the install media handy, I believe you can use the evaluation installer from MS. If you're only installing SSMS, I don't believe the evaluation period applies. Someone may want to correct me if I'm wrong about this part.Mon, 15 Oct 2012 12:51:51 GMTScott D. Jacobsonhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1372522-1292-1.aspxThe two systems are in different locations. I could, though, set up SSMS on my desktop here in my office to test this. As I recall, the installation of SSMS is part of the SQL Server installation (or is that incorrect?). If true, is there a way to install just SSMS? Or is there a separate download available for it?Mon, 15 Oct 2012 12:48:06 GMTdflbobhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1372522-1292-1.aspxYes, it should.Are you doing this from Mgt Studio on your PC, or on the physical Server? Which ever one you are trying to do this on go to the opposite and try it there. Can you try this on any other PC/Server running Mgt Studio 2008?Mon, 15 Oct 2012 11:47:15 GMTMarkushttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1372522-1292-1.aspxIn SSMS, when I highlight a maintenance plan that I successfully created, right click, and then select Modify, nothing happens. I was under the impression that a window would open for me to then review the plan and modify, as needed.The problem is the same on two systems I've set up: one running SQL Server 2008, tho other 2008 R2.Sun, 14 Oct 2012 11:45:48 GMTdflbob
