Connect SQL Server 2005 SSMS to SQL Server 2008

Published 17 June 08 05:11 PM

Not sure whether you've had to connect your SQL Server 2005 Management Studio to an instance of SQL Server 2008 yet, but I needed to do this today and got bitten by the fact that it doesn't work until you install the latest cumulative update to SQL Server 2005 SP2.

You can download the update here.
