Afternoon everyone,
I've got problem in the foreseeable future, which I'm trying to plan for
to head off.
The company I now work for has a Windows 2000 Server (sp3). Its running
on a PC with 2 34GB SCSI drives, which are mirrored. The drive(s) is
set up as a dynamic disk, with 2 volumes. One has the OS, the other is
all data. Reasonable way to set things up. Only problem is that
whoever created the volumes didn't leave enough room for growth on the
OS volume. My system volume has a 1.95 GB partition with 452MB free.
The other volume has 17GB free.
Naturally I'm looking for a safe way to resize both partitions - giving
more room to the system partition. Any good recommendations? Problems
people have encountered in the past with this?
While I haven't actually tried it, I thought one of the main features of
dynamic disks is that you were supposed to be able to resize the volumes on
the fly?

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you know, in
most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest constraint to scaling up?!

them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather than buying more servers.
