FAQs Deployment FAQs 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 1: Is R2 Foundation able to connect to an existing AD? 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.
