FAQs
Deployment FAQs
Question 1: Is R2 Foundation able to connect to an existing AD?
Answer: Yes. It can also be used as Active Directory (AD) member server or
Domain Controller should a user decide to configure it that way. R2
Foundation has a 15 AD user limit, and this may limit its usefulness within
large AD infrastructures.
Question 2: Is R2 Foundation able to deploy into a network where other
Windows Servers, including Small Business Servers, are present?
Answer: Yes. Though Windows Server CALs will not work with R2
Foundation. R2 Foundation has a hard 15 user limit. Customers cannot
purchase additional Windows Server CALs to supplement this limit.
Additionally R2 Foundation users do not supplement Windows Server CALs
meaning an R2 Foundation user doesn’t have access rights to other
Windows Servers.
Question 3: Can you deploy multiple R2 Foundation into single network?
Answer: Yes.
FAQs continued
Question 4: Does R2 Foundation require any Client Access Licenses (CALs)?
Answer: There are no Windows Server CALs. Foundation R2 supports
15 users. Should you wish to use Terminal Services or Rights
Management, CALs are required for these server roles. A user account
must be assigned to a unique user and cannot be shared.
Question 5: Is a user able to access both Windows Servers with CAL and R2
Foundation?
Answer: Yes, so long as they have an appropriate CAL for the other
Windows Servers . A Foundation user has no access rights to other
Windows Servers.
Question 6: Is there an anonymous CAL model for Internet Information Server
(IIS)?
Answer: R2 Foundation does allow for anonymous connections to IIS.
There is a limit of 15 authenticated users.
Other FAQs continued
Windows Logo Certification
Question 1: Can Foundation Server use non-ECC memory?
Answer: No, ECC memory requirements are incorporated into the license
agreement for R2. ECC memory is also required for Windows Server 2008 R2
logo certification. Provided to ensure customers receive the best possible
experience based on Server class hardware
