Download Sql Server 2008 R2 Evaluation
Hi, Anyone got a link or is hosting the older 2008 R2 enterprise evaluation version, I need to load up an emergency test environment, only seem to be able to get 2012 from MS links. Developers needing the full features of SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition for use in a non-production environment may find SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer Edition the right tool for the job. This product has the exact same functionality as Enterprise Edition and only differs in the license. Hi, Hoping someone can assist. Environment: Windows Active Directory 2003 R2 Subordinate Enterprise Certificate Authority running on Windows Server 2008 R2 - Enterprise Edition. I have a custom V2 template, created by duplicating the Code Signing Template. Oct 09, 2015 I can see web pages for the Express edition, but I want Enterprise or Standard. I can see web pages for 'SQL Server 2008 Enterprise' but the omission of 'R2' means that the download is R1, which I do not want.

1. Does SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition (64-bit) support Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS)?
Yes, the BIDS is a shared component available in all editions of 'real' SQL Server (not Compact). I'm not 100% sure that it would be included in the Express edition - but definitely in the Standard edition, it's in there.
You need to select it at the time of installation (first item under 'Shared Features):
2. What are the main differences between SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition? Is Standard Edition (64-bit) the same as Enterprise Edition?
NO - Standard edition is NOT the same as Enterprise edition - wouldn't make sense to have two editions that are the same......
There's an extensive list on the Microsoft SQL Server site - too long to repeat here.
Update: to find out what edition you're database engine is, use
