Installing SQL Management Studio - sql-server

I have installed SQL Server with Microsoft Visual Studio and now I need to use SQL Server Management Studio and there is no such application in the Start menu. It just has Import and Export Data and SQL Server Configuration Manager. What do I do next?
when i tried to install the sql server 2008 from the given link by MrKow it gives the following error
TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created..
BUTTONS:
OK
so now help what to do next ??

It is a different download and not part of Visual Studio.
It is part of SQL Server and can be found on the install media (CD/DVD) - you can also download the express edition for free, SSMS 2005 here and SSMS 2008 here.

By default, the SQL Server installation does not install the client tools, including SQL Server Management Studio. You can relaunch the SQL Server installation and add the client tools.

You can download the Express edition of SSMS here.

Put the SQL Server CD Rom in the drive and follow the step.
When you see the screen : "Feature selection" under "Shared Features" choose "Management Tools - Basic" and "Management Tools - Complete"
Leave the rest unchecked as you already installed the database.

How to get GUI on SQL Server 2012

I have installed a Evaluation 180 days version of SQL Server 2012 from the official website of Microsoft, on a Windows Server 2012 R2 (with gui). At the end of the installation in the Installation center, everything passed and succedeed but when I quit the program, I don't have any way to execute SQL Server from a graphical interface. I can see MS instances created, services running but how can I get a GUI to work with SQL Server?
With the newer version of SQL Servers, the SQL Server Management Studio (the GUI) is a separate install and you will need to install it separately to the database engine installation (which is what you have done). You can download SSMS from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062. The page contains a lot of different download components, make sure you check the appropriate install and click download.
ENU\x64\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe if you want the 64bit installation of SQL Management Studio
ENU\x86\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe for the 32bit version.

SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is a tool to manage and administer SQL Server and SQL Database.
SSMS is offered free of charge by Microsoft.

Local server in SQL Server 2012 Management Studio

I've installed Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio today and now I'm trying to connect to server. As far as I know there should be default local server that would allow me to create a database in it. Unfortunately, my list of servers is empty and I cannot connect to anything. I've read tutorials and tried everything, even reinstalling all the Microsoft SQL Package. How can I fix this problem and find/create my local server?
Ok, I've read that there might be a problem with connecting to database even if whole microsoft package gives me LocalDB. I had to install Visual Studio, then clicked View -> SQL Server Project Explorer. Right click at 'SQL Server', I added new database and then entered its name. Now I can connect with my own server by typing '(localdb)\v11.0' in management studio.

Cannot find SQL Server Analysis Services in SQL Server 2012 Management Studio

I use SQL Server 2012 Express and SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (I don't know if both are necessary, I saw that in a tutorial) and I want to add the feature Analysis Services. I ran the Setup.exe and in "feature selection" the option Management Tools - Basic was selected.
I tried to connect to Analysis Services like this:
SQL Server Management Studio -> File menu -> Connect Object Explorer -> Server type
where it is supposed to be the option Analysis Services but there is the default and unique option "Database Engine".
Can someone help me?
Install this completely with all features or atleast features related to analysis services Download Link

Missing Integration Services Catalog in Management Studio

I have SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 standard edition installed. I access remote to the server where SQL Server is installed. The option of the integration services catalog is missing under the database connection.
I did check the followings
I have the role sysadmin when I log in SQL Server
The service of integration services is installed and running.
The installation of the management studio is complete
I am missing the Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services when I run the Dcomcnfg.exe under Services, Computers, My Computer, and DCOM Config. Weird I am missing this. I wanted to find this to give appropriate permissions, but can't since the node is not there.
Any ideas? Help!
That's because you're using SSMS 2008. The Integration Services Catalog was introduced with SQL Server 2012. The older client doesn't know that's a "thing."
I prefer to manage servers with the latest and greatest version of SSMS which is now a free download.
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014
Choose "MgmtStudio 32BIT\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe"
For clarification
Integration Services Catalog
Integration Services Object Explorer
I had the same problem, Integration Server Catalog is invisible
This is my solution:
Check your installation edition of SQL Server.
How to check? right click on the node of (SQL Server...) on SSMS - click properties - in "general" check the "product" name.
If you still use "SQL Server Developer Edition", some features will not available.
the solution is download SQL Server Enterprise Edition.
I have no idea for Standard Edition, but maybe you can also use Enterprise Edition.
This is link for download : download SQL Server 2014
Click setup.exe to install and choose New SQL Server Stand-alone Installation select the feature you need. I think you can also select Integration Services in Feature Selection.. then fill the instance name and instance ID. continue the installation process until complete.
Open SQL Server Management Studio. Database Engine connection -> Server Name: (Server Name) / (Instance ID)
You will see the Integration Server Catalog. In the picture bellow, you can compare the display between SQL Server Developer Edition (above) & SQL Server Enterprise Edition (bottom with instance name).
I hope it can help..
Final result:
I got same issue and i have installed SSMS 17.0 and now i am able to create the SSISDB catalog with encryption password.
It's working as expected.

How to run SQL Server 2012 Services

I have Installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (Ultimate) , and it installed all the SQL files,
yet I can't find the SQL Server Manager in the Start Menu, like the old version, so I can't start the services, , or there is an other way to run the services, so I can connect to the SQL Server?
In Run window, type "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mmc.exe" /32 C:\windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager12.msc. I did come across the same problem (Sql Server Configuration Manager is not in start menu) before, and I had to pin it to task bar.
SQL Sever 2012 service are installed via Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Express as VS 2012 does not install it unless you are using custom installer..
Once you install Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Express in your machine you can use SSMS and other tools to manage SQL services on your machine.
Use 'sqlserver.exe' to start SQL Server from the command line - MSDN reference here. Or you can download SQL Server Management studio as shown below - from this link.
