Analysis Services for SQL Server 2008 R2 Express - sql

Is it really to add Analysys Services for existing instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 Express?

SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with Advanced Services just includes SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), not SSAS

SSAS excludes SQL Server Standard and Enterprise

I am using DotNetNuke Content Management Systems.Following are the database requirements for DotNetNuke.
Database Server
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express or
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express or
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 or

Can you replicate from SQL Server 2012 to 2008 R2

Quick question: can you replicate a database from SQL Server 2012 to 2008 R2?
We currently have a push transactional replication setup from a SQL Server 2008 R2 database (publisher) to another 2008 R2 (subscriber). The publisher is controlled by a partner organisation that we work closely with, but we have little control over their infrastructure (other than the replication).
Our partner is upgrading their infrastructure to SQL Server 2012 - and as such we need to know if we will be forced to upgrade all or part of our solution to 2012 to follow suit.
Do we need to upgrade our subscriber SQL Server to 2012, or can we leave it as 2008 R2 and somehow configure it to subscribe to a 2012 replication?
Any information and/or references would be appreciated. We're in the process of coming up with a migration plan.
You can keep your 2008R2 subscriber, as long as the distributor and the publisher are one and the same instance (and it seems that they are, since you're running a push trans replication). Quote from here:
A Subscriber to a transactional publication can be any version within two versions of the Publisher version. For example: a SQL Server 2005 Publisher can have Subscribers running SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008 (including SQL Server 2008 R2), or SQL Server 2012; and a SQL Server 2012 Publisher can have Subscribers running SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008 (including SQL Server 2008 R2), or SQL Server 2012.
Probably you will have to reinitialize your subscription once the publisher upgrade is done. it would be preferable to not use any 2012 specific features or even to run the publisher database in 2008 compatibility mode.

How do I properly configure SQL Server Management Studio 2008 to work with SQL Server 2005 DB? The reason I'm asking is because I'm having trouble with and unable to use Integration Services.

Does SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2 Apply to SQL Server 2008 R2?

I've been using SQL Server 2008 R2 for my development. I noticed that service pack 2 for SQL Server 2008 just came out. However, I checked here and Microsoft does not provide a link to any of the service packs for SQL Server 2008 R2. So it is not clear to me whether or not I should apply their service pack to my instance of SQL Server 2008 R2.
Do I need to apply some version of service pack 2 to my instance of SQL Server 2008 R2?
Thanks.
No, SP2 for SQL 2008 cannot be applied to SQL 2008 R2, they are different product versions.
Here's the 2008 SP2 announcement.
In addition to some bug fixes, it does contain some updates that make it compatible with some SQL 2008 R2 features, but this patch can't be applied to R2.
The current patch level for SQL 2008 R2 is Cumulative Update 3 (Announcement, KB article).

You need to download and install Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.
You can use either the 2005 or 2008 version of Management Studio to connect to a SQL Server 2005 database.
