I too, had to "convert" my co-workers that folders are things that belong to the past and they now agree, they would never return to the dark ages of folders; they really like our new document libraries.

I'm not sure why you aren't seeing the same install options, but by scripting the install you may have more options.

I'm very new to the SharePoint world. I'm currently installing SharePoint foundation in Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. Whilst running the setup file after accepting the license agreement, i do not get the option of selecting standalone or server farm. The installation jumps straight into the page to select the installation location. I realized it goes on to do a a server farm installation hence requiring a database server, database name, database username and database password - all which i do not know how to setup. Please could you know why the standalone option doesn't exist/is skipped by the installer. I have already re-downloaded the .exe file severally to no success. I'd really appreciate any help as i have been stuck on this for 2 weeks. Hi John,

I am currently deploying a Sharepoint Architecture for my company, potential users for intranet page are 800 and only a bunch of them will explote BI features, so SharePoint Foundation seems to be enough for most of them, anyway we have bought SharePoint Server 2010 to support those few users using BI capabilities and their respectives CAL's(Enterprise) but we would like to avoid cost of CAL for remaining users using only Foundations features. What could you propose as architecture? we thouhgt in separate deployments of Server and Foundation version, but is this the best approach? It seems like we are cutting intranet services in 2. Thanks in advance for your comments. Hello John, hope you can help me with a matter blocking me right now.

Once quick question. I have an authoring farm which is used by internal users to create content. The content is deployed to a seperate internet farm with FIS licences. What licences does the authoring farm require? It's only accessed by internal users, but the content will eventually be accessed by the general public. Hi John,

Topology --------- 1) SP 2010 Server Farm 2) SP 2010 Content DB Server 3) Reporting Server (Awaited to be integrated with Server 1 with SP 2010 Foundation not part of existing Farm (Server1) i.e. Separate SP Foundation Farm Server. Assumed Solution ---------------- 1) Sp 2010 with licence 2) SP 2010 Content DB Server (As remained) 3) Reporting Server (Install Separate[not linked to existing SP 2010 Server farm as in point 1] SharePoint Foundation 2010 with required components/services activated for Report Server integration with Server 1). Now My Questions If the Reporting Server (Server 3) is integrated as mentioned in above scenario with Server 1 i.e. SP 2010 Server Farm. Will Reports work perfectly without any issues as with SP 2010 Server Licence in Server 3. Your advice is very valuable to us. Thank you very much for the help and answers. Thanks in advance NB Hi John,

Based on your replies I come to following conclusion.

Topology
———
1) SP 2010 Server Farm
2) SP 2010 Content DB Server
3) Reporting Server (Awaited to be integrated with Server 1 with SP 2010 Foundation not part of existing Farm (Server1) i.e. Separate SP Foundation Farm Server.

Assumed Solution
—————-

1) Sp 2010 with licence
2) SP 2010 Content DB Server (As remained)
3) Reporting Server (Install Separate[not linked to existing SP 2010 Server farm as in point 1] SharePoint Foundation 2010 with required components/services activated for Report Server integration with Server 1).

Now My Questions

If the Reporting Server (Server 3) is integrated as mentioned in above scenario with Server 1 i.e. SP 2010 Server Farm. Will Reports work perfectly without any issues as with SP 2010 Server Licence in Server 3.

Your advice is very valuable to us. Thank you very much for the help and answers.

This actually used to be a question on one of the Windows certification exams - but I don't remember the exact answer! From my understanding, Microsoft is concerned that you have PURCHASED the correct license and is much less concerned about the install media. I know that many folks have done this.

If that website is SharePoint 2010 based, and it is part of the same FARM as your internal site, then YES you need the SharePoint for Internet site license. If that separate website is not SharePoint, then no. If that separate website is SharePoint Foundation 2010, then no you do not need the SharePoint for Internet Sites license (because this does not apply to Foundation).

In other words, SP Foundation is a free add-on to Windows. If you have proper Windows licenses, then yes you can use Foundation to run public-facing websites for no additional costs. Also, you can run multiple top level domains on Foundation - there are no restrictions that I know of on Foundation. SharePoint Foundation is part of your Windows 2008 license.
