I had SQL Server 2005 installed on my system. Then I installed SQL Server 2008 R2 also.
Now when I open SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio I get two messages.
(1) You can import customized user settings from SQL Server 2005 Management Studio. Be aware that some default settings might be changed after you import your customized user settings. Do you want to import your customized user settings from SQL Server 2005 Management Studio
(2)There are SQL Server 2005 Management Studio registered services on this system. Do you want to add them into Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio? Adding The Server registration information has no effect on the servers themselves.
What I should answer to this messages? Yes or No? Please help. I am trying to install Sharepoint Server 2013 Server on my system. But there is an error when I ran Products configuration wizard.
Failed to create sample data. An exception of type
System.Null.Reference Exception was thrown.
Does the error in SQL server Management Studio have anything to do with this error?
1st Sql is warning you that you have prev users that are created in the old sql server 2005 instance.
And asking you if you wish to migrate those users to the new sql 2008 instance.
if you would like to login with the same users that you used to use in the old sql then press yes other wise neglect the dialog and create your new users in the new sql server.

I have installed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2017. After the installation completed, I launched the Studio. It asked me for server name. How can I create a new server? click here to view picture
You can not. SQL Server is a software that is INSTALLED on servers. Same like ordering a new phone (ssms) does not magically create a phone provider (sql server).
Either you get access to it (download MS, i.e.) or your company / school provides you with the database and access credentials. Which include server name.
I'm trying to migrate our Access Database to a database on SQL Server 2008 R2.
When I try to migrate it, I get an error message:
You cannot connect to an older version (SQL Server 2008) of target SQL Server from a higher version SSMA project (Project type = SQL Server 2014)
I downloaded and did a 'Typical' installation of 'Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v5.3 for Access' but when it loads, I get the loading screen for a brief second that says 'Microsoft SQL Server 2014' and then the Migration Assistant loads.
I try and migrate my databases but at the end, I get the above error message.
I have MS Sql Server 2014 Management Studio installed on my computer. Perhaps, the migration assistant is using the native engine to load the Migration Assistant? Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
During the migration, you get a screen where you can specify the Migration name and the path for the Migration Project. In that same window, there is another drop-down where you can specify what you would like to migrate to. The choices are SQL Server 2014, 2012, 2008 and 2005.
I selected 2008 from the drop-down in the 'Migrate To:' field and clicked on Next.
Migration was eventually successfully completed.
I have a problem while running SQL Server 2012 on my machine.
I installed SQL Server 2012 on my machine but just show it
SQL Server Configuration icon
Import and export data icon
SQL Server installation icon
SQL Server Error and usage icon.
There I can't see SQL Server 2012 Management Studio icon, so I wasn't able to view the database and tables in it.
Please guide me to fix it.
Have you install Sql Server Management Studio 2012? You have to install it.
You can download the management tools from the below link
Microsoft SQL Server SP 1
Select only SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe or SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe from the download options.
I've got a fresh install of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and just installed SQL Server 2008 R2, including SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio.
When I go into Management Studio, it does NOT show the SQL Server instance that was created during setup. It only has (local) and won't let me connect to it at all.
Any ideas?
First check if SQL Server 2008 instance is installed show on your SQL Configuration Manager.
If it doesn't exist you need to re install you sql server 2008 r2 and follow these steps on this link below:
SQL SERVER – 2008 – Step By Step Installation Guide With Images
And it exist just add server name : yourpcname

Problem solved. Management studio requires <computer name>/<instance name> under the "Server" section. I was only entering in the instance name.
Another solution that worked for me:
enter "localhost" as the server (computer-name\MSSQLSERVER failed)
Not sure why but the name "MSSQLSERVER" as shown in Configuration Manager is not the name shown when I log in via Management Studio. The name in Management Studio is SQL Server 9.0.5000 which corresponds to SQL Server 2005 SP4 (which is correct in my case).
If there is a SQL Server 2000 installed on a Server, and i have a VWD Express 2008 on a PC on that network, what could be the possible reasons for the SQL Server not being visible in the Server Explorer of the VWD ? Both PC's are on the same workgroup.
I also tried keying in the name of the server, and the Login and password, but the databases in that server do not appear in the Dropdown list.
Any suggestions helpful.
Regards.
Does Visual Web Developer Support SQL 2000? As per my knowledge it does not. Why not use SQL 2005 Express or SQL 2008 Express.
Also you can download SQL Management Studio Express (05/08), Install it on the PC with Visual Web Developer & try to connect to SQL 2000 Machine. If it cannot, It will throw an error which will help you a little more to know the reason.
One last thing (very fundamental..) Is your SQL 2000 running?
