If you watch the Lotus Web Community (aka "Lotus Bloggers"), you would have seen, over the last week, news that Lotus Foundations Start is attracting more Microsoft Business Partners to the fold.

One of the more frequent questions heard in the Lotus Community has been something along the lines of "what is the difference between a 'normal' Domino Server and the one on Lotus Foundations Start?" IBM released a TechNote late last month that addressed this question. Among the differences are:

Users and Teams are synchronized between Lotus Foundations and Domino (Users and Groups)

If users or groups are defined in a Domino Administrative interface that do not exist as users or teams in the Lotus Foundations Start, those users or groups will be removed. Domino group membership must match the team membership in Lotus Foundations.

The following settings in the server document or server configuration document are periodically set in the Foundations Start server. Those settings in the server document are indicated by [s] and those in the server configuration document are marked with [c].
