Haven't installed 2008 enterprise yet, but if it acts like previous versions, you must include the Management Studio during installation. By default it's not installed. Re-run the setup and check if there's an option you can include. Something like Client tools etc.

x64\Setup\sql_ssms.msi

getutcdate means : Coordinated Universal Time
and return universal time regardless your time zone
but getdate return time based on your time zone:

<br />
SELECT 'SYSDATETIME()      ', SYSDATETIME();<br />
SELECT 'SYSDATETIMEOFFSET()', SYSDATETIMEOFFSET();<br />
SELECT 'SYSUTCDATETIME()   ', SYSUTCDATETIME();<br />
SELECT 'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP  ', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;<br />
SELECT 'GETDATE()          ', GETDATE();<br />
SELECT 'GETUTCDATE()       ', GETUTCDATE();<br />
/* Returned:<br />
SYSDATETIME()            2007-05-03 18:34:11.9351421<br />
SYSDATETIMEOFFSET()      2007-05-03 18:34:11.9351421 -07:00<br />
SYSUTCDATETIME()         2007-05-04 01:34:11.9351421<br />
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP        2007-05-03 18:34:11.933<br />
GETDATE()                2007-05-03 18:34:11.933<br />
GETUTCDATE()             2007-05-04 01:34:11.933<br />
*/<br />

Could I understand GETDATE returns machine local time?

GetDate() returns current date of your sqlserver machine(means the server where your sqlserver installed)

GETUTCDATE returns current date of the system in UTC time (Greenwich Mean Time) while GETDATE return current time in the timezone where the system is working.
