Workstatiodrive[sic] desktop machines

Client Tools Only Build – just the tools, to allow remote administration of SQL Server

“There are five members of the FineBuild family:

  • SQL2016 FineBuild to install SQL Server 2016
  • SQL2014 FineBuild to install SQL Server 2014
  • SQL2012 FineBuild to install SQL Server 2012
  • SQL2008R2 FineBuild to install SQL Server 2008 R2
  • SQL2008 FineBuild to install SQL Server 2008
