Adding New Users Limit In R2 ?

[iprimo]

Hi,

I am trying to deploy Windows 2008 R2 for my client, they have over 500 staff and want to use 1 server as their DC/DNS.

 

As I understand it seems there is a limitation for Users on each 2008 servers, up to 500 per DC(Based on SID).

 

I would like to ask, is that information right or I could add more than 500 users on one DC?

 

I believe it would be good to add:

1: They do not have any other servers to be used;

2: Virtualization might be a possibility; ( Currently they consider, bare-metal server installation)

 

 

Thanks for your responses beforehand

I hope not...

There's a limitation, but it's about 1 billion or something like that...
