  • Yes. You would be able to connect to other SQL Server instances using SSMS of Express Edition.

    will be there any limitations? my remote sql server 2005 is an enterprice edition

  • AFAIK, for any T-SQL query that you would execute using SSMS there is no limitations. However some of the advanced features available in the Enterprise Edition might not be accessible using the GUI.
