No VPN or anything else, tablet is a direct LTE connection and it works great without all the other hassles.I found a Win2K8R2 Foundation server still in stock, ordered that and sold the 2012 Foundation server to another customer this morning. Server is in her home, her warehouse she wants to run QB Enterprise on a tablet. She runs a fairly successful internet sales operation. Why do you need RDS in a less than 15 user environment?I would not call taking a brand new OS, completely untested for the most part, and applying something like that a production solution.BTW I tried it and SQL Management Studio Express crashes on install:)As far as why do I want RDS in a small user environment.

On my install, it wouldn't get rid of the DA role after I installed it and had to reinstall everything to get the settings right.Still, I can't complain too much since Microcenter hooked me up with a seemingly capable i5 server with Foundation preinstalled for only $100 more than the cost of a full Server 2012 license.

Since Foundation has to be the root of any forest, you would have to buy another full Server license (and another machine since you can't virtualize) to be the DA server attached to the Foundation DC. It doesn't alert you until after the fact that a DA server cannot be the Domain Controller as well. When you install the Routing and Remote Access Role, it practically pleads with you to install DirectAccess. There are a couple other gems in Foundation 2012 as well. Once the hardware was sold out so was the licensing.The wheel is going to get very squeaky tomorrow when I call MS. If your spending that much money buy a regular Windows server license and 1 server.Of course there are no more Foundation 2008 R2 servers, nor are there downgrade rights since it is sold only with bundled hardware. So why offer a product with RDS that cannot use RDS?Who is going to buy 2 Foundation servers just so they can run RDS? This is all well and good for Server 2012 Standard or Essentials since they come with Hyper-V and a 2 instance license.Foundation does not. For a small office of 2-3 people Foundation was perfect with RDS for remote access to an app or two.Server 2012 is advertised IDENTICALLY to 2008 R2 except now you cannot install RDS on a DC at all. Its perfect for a very small office.Remote Desktop Services was never recommended to be installed on a Domain Controller, but it did work, and it was only a recommendation. 15 user limit, usually sold on single socket E3 or even i5 based hardware.
Like Server 2008 R2 it is advertised with the exact same features.Except they do not work as advertised.Foundation server is meant for a small business, very small. Microsoft has released Foundation Server 2012.
