This article details exact steps to set up basic database replication with SQL Server 2014.
It starts with this:
Right-click the Replication folder, and then click Configure Distribution.
On right clicking my Replication folder (I do believe I installed replication), I only get the following options:
Launch Replication Monitor
Generate Scripts....
Update Replication Passwords...
I can't find any other place in SQL Server Mgmt Studio to get to this section. What am I missing?
Silly me. Was using express version of trial. I thought, as it was a trial, it would at least let me try all features.
Downloaded the Enterprise 6-month trial edition instead. This should work.
Update
Yeah, it works now.

I have installed SQL Server with SQL Server management, but when I want to go to the Analysis server instance, there is no one.
I checked the SQL Server management but there is no Analysis Services process to enable.
I went to the SQL Server 2019 setup to add the Analysis server feature but it's not showing to install.
What can I do?
Solved.
I had to do a clean install.
The screen shot in this link shows "Analysis services"
But, since it is missing for you, I am guessing, you have selected an different edition of SQL Server 2019 setup (Web edition, may be ?).
If you using it as Developer, try the developer edition of SQL 2019 setup.

I am trying to install TFS 2013 on a server that previously had TFS 2015 installed, then removed.
When the process runs, there are a number of databases it can find, that need to be removed. I have removed these, but it is saying there is still one database: Tfs_Analysis.
I have looked in the server and I cannot see the database in the list of databases. I have full permissions on the server, so it is not a case of it being there and I cannot see it.
What is really confusing me is that SQL Server will allow me to create a database with the same name and remove it.
I have restarted the SQL Services and have also restarted the server. Can anyone suggest what I am missing?
When you connect to the database from SQL Management Studio, choose Analysis Services as the server type
Now you should see Tfs_Analysis under the list of databases and you can delete it so the TFS 2013 setup doesn't give you any trouble
I'm trying to move my databases to a newer Azure subscription. I used to simply click "Deploy to Azure" on a local database from SSMS and have it deployed to a specified Azure server. Importing/Exporting a BACPAC file also works. However, I can't seem to do any of this on the new server. I keep getting the error:
"The service objective 'Web' specified is invalid."
Googling around, I found this thread explaining the need to update the CREATE DATABASE template to accommodate Azure Databases (Azure upgrade, I'm guessing). However, the hotfix provided is specifically for SQL Server 2014 and I'm using SQL Server 2012. I checked other cumulative updates for 2012 here but found no fix for the issue.
Is there any other way I can fix this without having to upgrade to 2014?
Just to summarize my software versions:
SQL Server 2012
SQL Management Studio 11.0.2100.60
Local database: SQL Server 10.50.16000
Old Azure server: SQL Server 11.0.9230
New Azure server: SQL Server 13.0.15
You are getting this error because the latest V12 servers are not supporting the Web and Business Editions anymore. If you don't want to upgrade to SSMS 2014, you can create a V11 server and import your DB on this server. However this is only a temporary solution as Web and Business edition databases will be retired in September. At this point you will have to work with the latest tools to avoid this problem.
There is a Hotfix for it you can download and install on your machine. Please navigate to:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/2936603
You need to enter your email then download link will be sent to your email address. Then install it on your machine and you can see the following options:
Install the database as a Data Project into Visual Studio,
Set the target framework in the properties window to SQL Azure,
Build the project and resolve any unsupported issues.
Publish to your azure site.
I have tried the above and did not work for me - this solution worked!
My problem is that after I installed SQL Server Management Studio and use .\SQLEXPRESS as a server name. It says that it can't connect it.
I read lots of things about that problem and one thing was to go to computer management and check the sql server browser if it is started.
When I go there I do not find any files for sql. On time of the installing I do everything correct as it is supposed to be. That's why I cannot understand why it doesn't work. Any ideas ?
I suspect that you have installed the tools only (SQL Management Studio) and not SQL Server itself. If you want to connect to your own SQL Server (any instance starting with a dot ".") then you will need to install it on your machine.
You can download the full installation SQL Express package direct from Microsoft. There are several editions available to suit your environment and needs.

It gets a little complicated trying to find what you want since there are so many variants and editions. I recommend that you head over to Scott Hanselman's blog where he has laid it all out very nicely by release version, edition and environment (32/64 bit)
His preferred link: http://downloadsqlserverexpress.com

So, it seems it isnt installed... was it installed? Check google what it's folders are for your system and go look if the folders exist. Make a backup of existing folders and re-install if need be. then attach any existing files to to recreate the databases, if any.
I've been working on this ASP.Net Project for a few months, and today my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio has expired. Completely overlooked that i may have been using a trial version and not the express edition. I can not access SQL management studio as it says the evaluation has expired.
Is there a way i can downgrade to the express edition (Free), without losing any databases?
Is there a way i can still backup/export the database i have been working on? Ive tried using the import/export 64 bit tool, but ive forgotten my sql server password. I had just been using the default all this time.
Thanks
Backup database: You can get close backup of your databases by copying the data and log files from your Data directory. You can do this just using Windows copy and paste command.
Re-install from trail version: I faced this problem for SQL Server 2008 trial version. When SQL Server 2008 expired, I was able to re-install it as follows:
a) Remove or uninstall all tools of SQL Server completely from Control Panel > Programs and Features.
b) Then, re-install SQL Server as a new fresh tool.
c) After completing the installation successfully, Cope and paste those backup data and log files into new data directory of new installation.
d) Open SQL Server Mgmt Studio and attach the data file to re-create your old database. Your database will be resumed in this way.
I believe you can do this procedure for your SQL Server 2012 trial version too.
