At the moment I'm trying to find out if there are any reported issues with Management Studio running on a SQL Server 2005 Ent 64bit edition?
Can anyone help?
My reason for asking is really one of curiosity, one of my colleagues has said it doesn't work, I'm trying to research this claim as I do not have access to a 64 bit machine to try it on but would like to move my future project in this direction hence why I'm asking.
Many Thanks.

Hi Dave,
Technically, there aren't different versions of Management Studio, only 1 (client tools are distributed with all editions, except Express)...though, there are different platform builds (i.e. IA64,x64,x86)...
Management studio with Sql2k5 is fully 64bit compatible, and will run natively on an IA64 or x64 box...

|||There are issuses with SQL Server 2005 64 bit and the Management Studio that are explained here http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/906892.The Management Studio will run on the 64 bit platform but it will be slow and tend to freeze, the reason being it's still a 32 bit application. MS solution is to run the Management Studio on a 32 bit computer and connect to the SQL server that way. Why they don't have a 64 bit version of the Management Studio is anyone's guess.
