Windows server 2008 r2 foundation reseller

Sign in to vote. Hi To fill an immediate need file server rebuild I built a server using Foundation. Wednesday, August 3, PM. Taken from the MS site: Being licensed for 15 users Windows Server R2 Foundation has the following expected behavior when joined to existing domains. I would suggest you do a build with Server R2 standard now.

Cons: A bit lean on the number of allowed users. Would like to see Microsoft bump this to 25 or so, or offer a per-CAL solution above the 15 user mark, especially since a sysadmin might choose to use generic accounts to run services and such, that are not actually mapped to true 'users.
