SSDT installed in VS 2012, grayed out in SSMS 2012 - sql

Before I start, I have Googled the hell out of this issue to no avail and the tech support at my office is equally stumped (shocking).
I installed SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2012 from MSDN. It is currently working in Visual Studio 2012. I can create Integration Services projects without a problem - which is awesome.
However, when I open SQL Server Management Studio 2012, the options for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services are all grayed out. I am 90% sure I'm running Enterprise SSMS (please correct me if I'm wrong based on the "About" info below).
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 11.0.2100.60
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.1.7601.17514
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.11.9600.17420
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.18444
Operating System 6.1.7601
So my question is... how do I connect to these services in SSMS?

I know these "special services" require "special access rights granted by your DBA. After I got rights to see Integration Services, a "Integration Services Catalog" folder showed up under my server in the Object Explorer.

#Errors in SSMS built-in reports

From my local computer I am using SQL Server 2016 Management Studio client (SSMS) to connect to a SQL Server installed on a remote computer. I connect using Windows Authentication method.
My SQL Server Management Studio 2016 installed in my local computer shows below versions installed:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 13.0.16100.1
Herramientas cliente de Microsoft Analysis Services 13.0.1700.441
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 10.0.17763.1
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.11.17763.0
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.42000
Sistema operativo 6.3.17763
SQL Server version installed on remote computer is as below:
When I build reports I get a lot of "#Error" printed on it. As an example, to build a report about all blocked transactions I go to Server node -> Reports -> Standard Reports -> Activity – All Blocked Transactions. It shows "#Error", see below screenshot (in this screenshot there are no blocking transactions):
It seems it is caused by an out-of-memory exception. Restarting SSMS corrected the problem. After restarting SSMS, built-in reports are correctly generated, no more #Errors are shown.
I found this solution here.

Also servers browsers does not appear in visual studio 2010 express.

Visual Studio checkin

Hello everyone I am trying TFS 2012 express on my home server (just to try) and everything is fine.
Source control on my c# solution works! However, I am unsure where the source code repository of my solution resides for TFS 2012 express?
Does a "Check in file" from the solution save "ONLY" on the Sql express database?
Can you please explain to me and suggest a good site for documentation relating to TFS 2012 express.
TFS 2012 Express stores your source control repository in a SQL Express database, which is installed locally during setup.
You can also sign up for Team Foundation Service which hosts your source control in the cloud. It is free just like the express desktop edition for up to 5 team members.
Here are several links you can use to learn more about TFS 2012:
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Express 2012
MSDN Team Foundation Server2012

"Reports -> custom report" menu option in SQL server 2005 management studio express is missing. why?

I have installed:
MS SQL Server 2005 9.00.4035.00 SP3 Express Edition
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.2047.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.0.6001.18000 (longhorn_rtm.080118-1840)
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.6001.18000
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.3074
Operating System 6.0.6001 (windows vista)
I installed SQL Server Performance Dashboard. And I'm trying to follow the steps here: Installing SQL Server 2005 Performance Dashboard Reports
This step is included: "Right click on any node in the Object Explorer and click on Custom Reports..."
But in my contextual menu there is no "reports" option, what am I missing?
Quick guess: patch your client tools (Management Studio) to SP3/4035 too.
You have the SP1 RTM tools (build 2047) and custom reports are for SP2 onwards
It's generally best to keep client and server (even express) patched to the same level.
