A1) Server 2008R2 is able to join a Domain managed by a SBS 2003, But a windows 2008R2 foundation server is unable to replace an SBS2003 server (no exchange server). Keep the SBS2003, but add a new server for the BES10.
A2) Dont know, I never tried the foundation server, but if I remember correct, it is a very limited version and, you will have problems joining the Windows domain. But I really dont know this exactly. The foundation server is not listed as a compatible OS for BES10.
A3) The BB10 server is free, but you need CALs (as with the BES4/5 enterprise version). CALs are about $99, but, if you currently activate a new BB10 on a BB10 server you get permanent CALs for free.
A4) Just install the most current Blackberry 10 Server version
A5) besides the cost of the server, and your time, 0
A6) You could just use Active Sync with the Blackberry 10 devices - no BES required (no synchronisation of outlook notes with Exchange 2003 however!)
