Well I'm confused. I'm currently studying for my MCTS in SQL Server 2008 and all the literature I have found up to this point suggests that instance support is 50 in Enterprise Edition and 16 in Standard Edition. This is cited by "The Real MCTS SQL Server 2008" study guide by Syngress and also the following link. Can someone please clarify as I wan't to be sure I know the correct answer for the exam!

Many thanks

50 and 16 are correct, as is very clearly stated on this link
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/editions-compare.aspx
. The 50/50 referenced in the MSDN link is for the maximums for SQL Server 2008 for 32 bit and 64 bit, no mention of which edition.
Here is the title row of that table:
"SQL Server Database Engine object" "Maximum sizes/numbers SQL Server (32-bit)" "Maximum sizes/numbers SQL Server (64-bit)"
Unfortunately the system told me I was wrong so I don't get the point for the correct answer, but I believe I get one for a post. So I guess it evens out...sort of.

Perhaps I am confused or simply don't understand the question or have a bad reference source.
The whitepaper "SQL Server Consolidation with SQL Server 2008"
Writer: Martin Ellis
Reviewer: Prem Mehra,Lindsey Allen, Tiffany Wissner, Sambit Samal
Published: March 2009
Applies to: SQL Server 2008
page ten, lists
Edition Maximum instances
SQL Server 2008 Standard 16*
SQL Server 2008 Enterprise 50*
*Depending upon available system resources and workload
Check out the link below. It's the one referenced in the answer. It states both Enterprise and Standard can handle 50.

hi,
I agree with the 50 instances for Enterprise and 16 for standard based on the following link that I read on MSDN>
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx
Can somebody tell me the difference between Multi-instance support and Max no of instances. Its kinda confusing :)
Thanks
Razi, M.

This is an awful mess, isn't it? Should it be 50 and 16 or 50 and 50?
Well, actually, no: it depends whether the platform the instances are to be installed on is a standalone server or a failover cluster. The only answer option that says it depends on anything is the fourth and that says "depends on the OS" which is of course wrong, but it seemed to me to be less wrong than any of the others.
Did the 50 50 or 50 16 question ever get resolved? Has the MS documentation been rendered consistent?
And, of course, should everyone have been talking about whether it's 50 50 or 25 25 depending or 50 16 or 16 16 depending?
