Hi Shawn, What kind of error did you get when you tried reducing the pagefile size on the c: partition?

Tried moving the pagefile to another partition and no luck in that as well. A work around would be nice.

Let me see if I can find it. Have you tried just moving the pagefile to another partition to free up space first? I am assuming that this is an Exchange installation and the defaults were picked on the installation. If so why don't you just move the transaction logs and database files to another partition. Jose :-) -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Moua [mailto:smoua@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 4:18 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Expanding C drive on Windows 2003 http://www.MSExchange.org/ Jose, This utility will not work on system or boot volumes. It would be nice if this tool will extend system or boot volumes. Thanks, Shawn. -----Original Message----- From: Medeiros, Jose [mailto:jmedeiros@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 3:10 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Expanding C drive on Windows 2003 http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi Shawn, Well not exactly, Microsoft does have a command line tool that expands basic and dynamic disks called diskpart, however I have never used it. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/325590 Can you please let me know, if it works for you ?

I know using Veritas BMR may work without any residual additional software, but I doubt my friend wants to pay hundreds of dollar just to test something out.

Why? 2. Do you want to take that risk? 3. Not natively. 4. Not sure if Partition Magic supports server OS. They did not 2 years ago. John T eServices For You -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Moua [mailto:smoua@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 9:47 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Expanding C drive on Windows 2003 http://www.MSExchange.org/ Not quite an Exchange question, but is it possible to expand the C partition on a Windows 2003 Server machine? I friend of mine is curious..and it's been awhile for me so I don't want to tell him an incorrect answer. Any clues will be greatly appreciated.
