I can't see any technical reason why not - It's still the 64-bit version of Windows 2008 which Exchange need However, i wouldn't do this for a couple of reasons Firstly by the time you've picked up foundation server and a copy of exchange and licenses you probably could have picked up a copy of SBS 2008 Second since the server is limited to 15 users on premise Exchange just doesn't seem to fit - i'd be looking at a hosted solution instead This post says something similar: http://ts2blogs.com/blogs/rwagg/archive/2009/04/01/details-on-windows-server-2008-foundation.aspx Was there a reason why you asked? Andy Hey Tom

Thanks for the comment

It’s a good question. I can’t see any technical reason why not – It’s still the 64-bit version of Windows 2008 which Exchange need

However, i wouldn’t do this for a couple of reasons

Firstly by the time you’ve picked up foundation server and a copy of exchange and licenses you probably could have picked up a copy of SBS 2008

Second since the server is limited to 15 users on premise Exchange just doesn’t seem to fit – i’d be looking at a hosted solution instead

This post says something similar: http://ts2blogs.com/blogs/rwagg/archive/2009/04/01/details-on-windows-server-2008-foundation.aspx

Was there a reason why you asked?
