Windows 2008 R2 Foundation Server - Limitations?


hi there,

i'm keen @ having foundation server on different site service minimal list of users.

our current domain example child1.domain.com our standard domain structure. keeping domain.com root forest tasks , child domain daily tasks.

now reading through limitations of foundation server:

2.the server running windows server 2008 r2 foundation can joined @ root of domain , can’t used create child domains. in case joined child domain or used create child domain server display warning , if not rectified shut down in 10 days.

3.the domain containing windows server 2008 r2 foundation must not have trust relations domain. in case domain have trust relationships server display warning message , if not rectified shut down in 10 days.

does #2 mean that, foundation server not allowed join domain child1.domain.com - member server only? not using roles ad, dhcp, dns on server - it's intended file/print server.

does #3 mean that, because child1.domain.com have few 2 way trusts - not supported foundation server though we'd using rights chilld1.domain.com? (these users local child1).

regards,

john


yes, #2 means foundation server cannot join child domain. in fact, don’t need foundation server if have child domain dc, although it’s not suggested, dc act file/print server if hardware capability allows. can configure security policies protect dcs. 

child domain default has trusts parent domain, foundation server not supported here.

thanks.
