  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Management Studio is missing when installing mssql shipped with plesk

Hello,

We have installed Plesk 10.3.1 in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
We chose to install MSSQL 2008 R2 Express Edition shipped with plesk.
Then we installed windows updates, including SP1 of MSSQL.

We realized that Management Studio was not installed.
I tried to add it from Control Panel -> Progams and Features -> MSSQL -> change, but it asks for the installation media.
So I downloaded 'SQL Express R2 SP1 with Tools' from microsoft's site:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26729
(the file is: SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe 329.0 MB)
and ran it in order to add Management Studio.

The problem is that it doesn't give me the option to install Management Studio. It shows only the installed components.
I don't know if that is the case but I noticed that at 'Control Panel -> Progams and Features' says about the installed version of MSSQL:
Product Version: 10.51.2500.0.
When I go to properties of the SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe file I downloaded it says
Product Version: 10.50.2500.0 (which is microsoft's latest update as you may see from the link above)

How can I install management studio in case I have installed MSSQL 2008 R2 shipped with plesk?

Thanks in advance
 
Finally I managed to install Management Studio.

I downloaded 'Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 R2 SP1 - Express Edition with Tools' from url:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26729

I ran the installation script and selected:
-> New installation or add features to an existing installation
-> New Installation or add shared features
In the next step i didn't select the 'Instance Features' checkboxes (which were 'Database Engine Services' and 'SQL Server Replication') because probably it would install a new instance of MSSQL. I just selected the checkbox 'Management Tools - Basic'. I completed the installation steps and it installed Management Studio.
