    hi,

    When running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition, up to 16 nodes are supported, but is there a difference in R2 Enterprise. If we are to go with a 4 node cluster or 6 mode cluster can you help with the limitations that can be underwent on this, i feel the DR plan for this will also not be easy (i dont have the number of databases etc) aswe are in planning phase. but will increasing the nodes make DR difficult or is there any effective plan where i can have an effective utilization between the nodes

    BR
