SSMS 2012 appears to be very buggy

  • Is it me or does anyone else out there feel like SSMS for 2012 is buggy even after the latest SP

    I prefer the 2008R2 version, it is so much more stable. I patched the 2012 SSMS but I still get weird errors like when I click select top 1000... from the table name it cannot find the object. I have to hit refresh to get it to see it again. Other issues I see is that if you open a Maintenance Plan and it wants to convert it and it will not go back and random crashes where I have to use task manager to kill it.

  • We (3 DBAs) have not had any issues with our install.

  • By the way, we have been using 2012 for over a year, and our software is patched regularly.

  • Same as the other user - We have 2012 running over a ton of physical machines and virtual machines with no issue. Unless you want to talk about SSAS 🙂 that is garbage! 🙂 (But you might try PowerShell)

    Back on topic !

    Have you tried hitting 2012 server from your workstation? It might be interesting to see if you are having an issue coming from a certain location or a certain install.

    Hope you get this hammered out soon!

    Kind Regards,

  • I love SSMS 2012 and have not had any of the issues you describe. I'd reinstall or repair ssms.
