SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

The SSMS is no longer a part of the MS SQL Server installation (version 2016 and newer) and is a separate installation.

In a multi-server environment, SSMS is only necessary on the server/machine that has MS SQL.

If the user is not installing MS SQL Server using Window Book installers, install MS SQL Server and SSMS before beginning the Window Book, Inc. product installation.
