As part of SQL Server 2016 installation SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is no longer available by default. It is necessary to manage SSMS as part of a separate installation.
This SQL Server 2016 release of SSMS does not require a SQL Server license to install and use.
To install a SQL Server 2016 SSMS silent install follow these instructions
Step 1- Obtain a copy of the SQL Server 2016 SSMS binaries via Download SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and place in a location either on the server or a network path.
Step 2 – Ensure the security context of the executor has sufficient privileges to install the binaries.
Step 3 – Execute the batch from the Command line
"MY_PATH\SSMS-Setup-ENU.exe" /install /quiet /norestart /log C:\tmp\ssmslog.txt
To confirm SSMS is installed check using the DOS based command "where"
Where ssms
which should return something similar to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Ssms.exe
This is just a basic outline of the steps required to install SQL Server Management Studio 2016. Using different tools such as Powershell it's possible to add a lot more automation around this basic steps .
