| 30 | +SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is an integrated environment for managing any SQL infrastructure, from SQL Server to Azure SQL Database. SSMS provides tools to configure, monitor, and administer instances of SQL Server and databases. Use SSMS to deploy, monitor, and upgrade the data-tier components used by your applications and build queries and scripts. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +Use SSMS to query, design, and manage your databases and data warehouses, wherever they are - on your local computer or in the cloud. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +If you need a cross-platform companion to SSMS for managing SQL and other Azure databases, use [Azure Data Studio](/azure-data-studio/download-azure-data-studio). |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +For details and more information about what's new in this release, *including important security changes*, see [Release notes for SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 20 Preview](release-notes-ssms-20.md). |

| 50 | +The [!INCLUDE [ssms20-md](../includes/ssms20-md.md)] installation doesn't upgrade or replace SSMS 19.x and earlier versions. [!INCLUDE [ssms20-md](../includes/ssms20-md.md)] installs alongside previous versions, so both versions are available. However, if you have an earlier *preview* version of SSMS 20 installed, you must uninstall it before installing the latest release of [!INCLUDE [ssms20-md](../includes/ssms20-md.md)]. You can see if you have a preview version by going to the **Help > About** window. |

|
| 79 | +## Previous versions |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +This article is for [!INCLUDE [ssms20-md](../includes/ssms20-md.md)] only. To download previous versions of SSMS, visit [Previous SSMS releases](../ssms/release-notes-ssms.md#previous-ssms-releases). |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +[!INCLUDE [ssms-connect-azure-ad](../includes/ssms-connect-azure-ad.md)] |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +## Unattended install |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +You can install SSMS using PowerShell. |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +Follow these steps to install SSMS in the background with no GUI prompts. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +1. Launch PowerShell with elevated permissions. |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +1. Type the following command. |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | + ```powershell |
| 96 | + $media_path = "<path where SSMS-Setup-ENU.exe file is located>" |
| 97 | + $install_path = "<root location where all SSMS files will be installed>" |
| 98 | + $params = " /Install /Quiet SSMSInstallRoot=$install_path" |
| 99 | +
|
| 100 | + Start-Process -FilePath $media_path -ArgumentList $params -Wait |
| 101 | + ``` |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | + For example: |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | + ```powershell |
| 106 | + $media_path = "C:\Installers\SSMS-Setup-ENU.exe" |
| 107 | + $install_path = "$env:SystemDrive\SSMSto" |
| 108 | + $params = "/Install /Quiet SSMSInstallRoot=`"$install_path`"" |
| 109 | +
|
| 110 | + Start-Process -FilePath $media_path -ArgumentList $params -Wait |
| 111 | + ``` |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | + You can also pass `/Passive` instead of `/Quiet` to see the setup UI. |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +1. If all goes well, you can see SSMS installed at *%systemdrive%\SSMSto\Common7\IDE\Ssms.exe* based on the example. If something went wrong, you could inspect the error code returned and review the log file in `%TEMP%\SSMSSetup`. |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +## Installation with Azure Data Studio |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +- SSMS installs Azure Data Studio by default. |
| 120 | + - The installation of Azure Data Studio by SSMS is skipped if an equal or higher version of Azure Data Studio is already installed. |
| 121 | + - The Azure Data Studio version can be found in the [release notes](release-notes-ssms.md). |
| 122 | +- The Azure Data Studio system installer requires the same security rights as the SSMS installer. |
| 123 | +- The Azure Data Studio installation is completed with the default Azure Data Studio installation options. These are to create a Start Menu folder and add Azure Data Studio to PATH. A desktop shortcut isn't created, and Azure Data Studio isn't registered as a default editor for any file type. |
| 124 | +- Localization of Azure Data Studio is accomplished through Language Pack extensions. Install the corresponding language pack from the [extension marketplace](/azure-data-studio/extensions/add-extensions) to localize Azure Data Studio. |
| 125 | +- At this time, the installation of Azure Data Studio can be skipped by launching the SSMS installer with the command line flag `DoNotInstallAzureDataStudio=1`. |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +## Uninstall |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +SSMS might install shared components if it determines they're missing during SSMS installation. SSMS doesn't automatically uninstall these components when you uninstall SSMS. |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +The shared components are: |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +- Azure Data Studio |
| 134 | +- Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server |
| 135 | +- Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server |
| 136 | +- Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) |
| 137 | +- Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x86) |
| 138 | +- Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x64) |
| 139 | +- Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2019 |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +These components aren't uninstalled because they can be shared with other products. If uninstalled, you might run the risk of disabling other products. |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +## Supported SQL offerings |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +- This version of SSMS works with [!INCLUDE [sssql14-md](../includes/sssql14-md.md)] and later versions. It provides the most significant support for working with the latest cloud features in Azure SQL Database, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Microsoft Fabric. |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +- Additionally, [!INCLUDE [ssms20-md](../includes/ssms20-md.md)] can be installed alongside with SSMS 19.x, SSMS 18.x, SSMS 17.x, and SSMS 16.x. |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +- For SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), SSMS 17.x and later versions don't support connecting to the legacy SQL Server Integration Services service. To connect to an earlier version of the legacy Integration Services, use the version of SSMS aligned with the version of SQL Server. For example, use SSMS 16.x to connect to the legacy [!INCLUDE [sssql16-md](../includes/sssql16-md.md)] Integration Services service. SSMS 17.x and SSMS 16.x can be installed on the same computer. Since the release of [!INCLUDE [sssql11-md](../includes/sssql11-md.md)], the SSIS Catalog database, SSISDB, is the recommended way to store, manage, run, and monitor Integration Services packages. See [SSIS Catalog](../integration-services/catalog/ssis-catalog.md) for details. |
| 150 | + |
