Dear all,
I have the following questions:
1. How many SQL server 2008 and Express can be installed per domain? can you
refer me to any MS documentation regarding this. I found a limitation for
number of instance per server.
2. I have a Domain with one sql server installed on W2K3 SP2, with many sql
server and express installed on XP SP2, the overall number is 40, all are
2008 entriprise RC0 (all are using single instance per device, some of them
are using default instance name and other are using named instance named). My
problem is that, the instance name can some time note appear in the SQL
server management studio and some time is appeared. I checked the browser
services, all are working well with domain administrator account. The
TCP,named pipe,shared memory all are active and working. I think the
problem is with the number of server/express per domain.

best regards and thanks

I don't know of any documentation stating a lack of a limit, but I also don't
know of any saying that there is a limit in a single domain... and I've read
several thousand pages of Microsoft documentation around SQL Server in the
last year.
