I am not sure what you mean by playing nice but Foundation Server is only an OS – a scaled down version of Windows Server – and it doesn’t include Exchange and SQL as in SBS.<br />

I am not sure that you can just plug it in an existing AD environment with all limitations that it has. It’s really for SOHO market segment.<br />
