    The various reports in SQL Server Mgmt Studio make use of DMV (dynamic management views) like the sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats to fetch their data.

    Those DMV are only available if you’re running on compatibility level 90 (SQL Server 2005) and up. You won’t be able to get this to work if you’re stuck in SQL Server 2000 compatibility level (80), unfortunately.
