We installed sql server 2012 on a windows 2012 server last week. We are unable to connect to the 2012 database from SQL 2008/2005 Management studio's. Is there a way to make the 2005/2008 SSMS connect to 2012 db's or is it not forward compatible?
As Wolfgang says, this is perfectly possible. Most likely this is a connectivity problem. What error message do you get?
