Hi John,
You don't need to use System Volume Manger to expand dynamic disks. NT 3.51,
4.0, 2000 , 2003 has always had the ability to expand partitions ( Now called
volumes ). However the exception is the partition the system OS is installed in
that is where a third party product such as Symantec Volume Manger comes in.

Warning, there is something about Server Magic (Volume Manger) that may not
work.
I do not remember exactly, but about 1 1/2 years ago I need to increase the
size of a NTFS partition that was a mirrored partition using Windows 2000
Server OS on 2 dynamic drives and when I talked to a tech at Symantec about
it he said it would not work, even if I first deleted the mirror. It might
have had to do with dynamic disks.
No, like I said that was 1 1/2 years ago (which was just after Symantec
bought Power Quest) so I am not sure if it was my particular circumstances
or if what ever problem there was has been corrected.
