Yes, this is what I am looking for now. SSMS 2012.
>You can use SSMS 2008 installation for SQL Server 2008 R2. However, you can also use SSMS 2012 or even SSMS 2014 to manage SQL Server.
>
>So, I would go ahead with installing the latest SSMS you can find to download (just SSMS).
>
>>Maybe SSMS was not part of the SQL Server installation. So now I found a link to download SQL Server Management Studio 2008 Express.
>>But it does not have R2. If I install this SSMS 2008 (without R2) will I be able to use it on SQL Server 2008 R2 Express?
>>
>>>I am installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on customer server. But I don't see anywhere the option for SQL server management studio.
>>>
>>>The Installation Center has the following items:
>>>Planning
>>>Installation
>>>Maintenance
>>>Tools
>>>Resources
>>>Advanced
>>>Options
>>>
>>>But I can't seem to find SSMS anywhere. Which of the items above should have it?
>>>
>>>TIA
