So for those wanting to know more about Windows Foundation Server.. we installed it on a box... mind you a box that has 12 gigs of RAM. We noted that it only saw 8 gigs which is in line with the listed hardware limitations:
- Base: Windows Server 2008 Standard
- X64 – Bit and 1 Socket Support Only
- 8 GB Memory Support
- No Virtualization Support
- Upgrade Support to Windows Server 2008 Standard and 15 User Limitation
Windows Server 2008 Foundation limits include:
15 User Limit
50 TS Connections
50 RRAS Connections
10 TAS Connections
30 SMB Connections
1 socket systems only
8GB maximum memory support
No virtualization use right
You only get the option of clean install
This test server only had one drive
We were installing over the top of another test install so that's why the message that it's going over the top of the OS
Normal Server 2008 image based install
Normal install
As you can see, even though the box has physically 12 gigs, the server only sees 8 gigs
Even the screen saver is 'branded'.
But there's no 'console' like SBS it's just normal Windows Server 2008 with certain hardware and eula limitations.
