# Breaking Changes to Management Tools Features in SQL Server 2014
  This topic describes breaking changes to management tools features. These changes might break applications, scripts, or functionalities that are based on earlier versions of [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)]. You might encounter these issues when you upgrade. For more information, see [Use Upgrade Advisor to Prepare for Upgrades](../../2014/sql-server/install/use-upgrade-advisor-to-prepare-for-upgrades.md).  
  
## Breaking Changes in [!INCLUDE[ssSQL14](../includes/sssql14-md.md)]

### You cannot use [!INCLUDE[ssSQL11](../includes/sssql11-md.md)] Management Tools to create a utility control point on a [!INCLUDE[ssKilimanjaro](../includes/sskilimanjaro-md.md)] instance of SQL Server  
 To create a utility control point on an instance of [!INCLUDE[ssKilimanjaro](../includes/sskilimanjaro-md.md)], use [!INCLUDE[ssKilimanjaro](../includes/sskilimanjaro-md.md)] Management Tools.  
  
### SMO has been reversioned in [!INCLUDE[ssSQL11](../includes/sssql11-md.md)]  
 Code developed with SMO from [!INCLUDE[ssKilimanjaro](../includes/sskilimanjaro-md.md)] or earlier versions might not build against [!INCLUDE[ssSQL11](../includes/sssql11-md.md)] without minor modifications. For more information, see [Backward Compatibility in SMO](../relational-databases/server-management-objects-smo/backward-compatibility-in-smo.md).
