From: dean.carrefour on 15 Jan 2010 11:18 We are considering installing some small servers in some of our remote offices to do simple file serving tasks. I am curious to know if Windows 2008 Foundation Server can provide the following services (and if there are some limitations to them, plese let me know): File Sharing File Replication (back to our corp hq for file backups) Secondary Domain Controller functions (in case of network outage at corp hq)

If it is part of a domain, is the 15 user limit for the local office or for the domain?
