Here’s one for the Blog. If I didn’t know better I’d swear Curtis wrote this question himself. Found this in the D&D FAQ on the Wizards of the Coast website.
Can a warforged be animated as or transformed into an undead?
A warforged isn’t immune to necromancy effects, so it can be animated as or transformed into an undead, as long as the effect, template, or monster description doesn’t otherwise bar it. For example, only humanoids and monstrous humanoids can become vampire spawn (according to the vampire’s create spawn special attack), so a warforged couldn’t become a vampire spawn. Another example: The zombie template states that it “can be added to any corporeal creature… that has a skeletal system.” (MM 265) A warforged is certainly a corporeal creature, but it doesn’t seem like a warforged has a skeletal system, so it couldn’t be animated as a zombie.

I'm not sure where, but I read somewhere that Warforged can't be raised as undead. Maybe it was the sidebar talking about whether warforged have souls.
I'll have to look it up.
