SSMSE is different from the complete SQL Server Management Studio in the following ways: • SSMSE cannot manage Analysis Services, Integration Services, or Reporting Services. • You cannot update the full-text catalog by using SSMSE. You can use sqlcmd utility or Windows Scheduler to update the full-text catalog. • Interactive Resolver, which lets you resolve conflicts manually during on-demand synchronization in Microsoft Windows Synchronization Manager, is not supported in SSMSE.

• SSMSE does not support scheduling administrative tasks by using SQL Server Agent. • In SSMSE, Object Explorer only supports Database Engine instances.

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 17.1 Released This past week brought us the latest release of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. Version 17.1 is generally available now and works with all versions of SQL Server currently supported by Microsoft: SQL Server 2008 - SQL Server 2017. Icepine Video Converter Pro 3.10.

This release also supports Microsoft Azure SQL Database and Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse. This release also supports the SQL Server Analysis Services PaaS. Though there are no specific barriers to using this version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) against SQL 2000 or SQL 2005 (though they're no longer supported by Microsoft) there may be features of those older products that would not work accurately with this version of SSMS and it's recommended that if you're still using those versions of SQL Server in production you work to upgrade to supported versions and continue to use older versions of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to administer those instances. This release of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio continues to build upon previous releases and can also be installed side-by-side with previous versions of 16.x releases of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio as well as with Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Management Studio.
