Does anyone know of an automated way of creating an ERD from an existing MS SQL 2008 Database? I've been tasked recently with supporting a third party tool and need more info on the back end. Any help is appreciated.

I use ModelRight as a modeling tool, while SSMS as pointed out by Tim will get you started. I think that you can get a 30 day trial on ModelRight, and probably any number of other modeling tools. Some others are mentioned here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/419276/data-modeling-tool-for-sql-server

It is not a proper ERD, but you can come close using the database diagram tool available in SSMS. You can certainly use that as a starting point to tweak into a true ERD.

If you have access to visio, you can generate an erd directly from schema with that...

I use Sybase PowerDesigner or Visio.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm thinking I'll try putting a python script together that dumps to xml queries on information schema views. Failing that, I'll probably try out DeZign for Databases which was mentioned in the StackOverflow question. One of the db admins here also recommends it.
