IntelliSense is not working in SQL Server Management Studio

Question

We use SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2. IntelliSense works with SA account perfectly. But it is not working with Windows Authentication user. The user has access master db

Answer 1

It could also depends on your destination server.

For instance for server 2005, intellisense will not work. Here is a command to check this :

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion');

If version begin with 8 or 9 it will not work.
