i have sql2k5 enterprise version installed on the database server.
my question is what version of SSMS (client tool) I should install on
developer's worksation?
our developers mostly deal with .net applications and also report
design, so they need to be able to deploy reports to reporting server.

do i have to install ssms on enterprise edition disk
or can i just install ssms from the standard edition, or is there other
choice out there (i know ssms express probably is not sufficient).

any suggestions from experts? thank you!!

Steve,

There is a developer edition of SQL Server 2005. It has the same
capabilities as the Enterprise Edition, but it is only licensed for
development purposes, not for production. As far as I know, the tools
(Management Studio) are the same for the Developer, Standard, and Enterprise
editions.
