Nice bit of SPAM - not.

The perceptive will know that it's fairly easy to use any partitioning management software to resize server disks (I know the ordinary versions pretend they don't work on servers, but they do). Unless you need something special that the expensive server versions provide, don't bother with them.

As alternative to Partition Magic, Easeus Partition Manager has improved the support to partition Windows Server 2008.

If you use Server 2008, you can shrink/expand the partitition in Disk Management online without other software. If you want to expand the system partition, you can delete the partition behind it and right click you system partition, run "Expand".

But there is a shortage in Server 2008 disk management that it cannot move the partitions, so you cannot expand the partition that there is no unallocated space behind it. If you do not want to delete one partition and expand the other, you may try other sw,

Window server and Vista allows you to extend the system if there is some free space next the system partition that you want to enlarge. If there isn’t any free space besides the system partition, you may delete the partition to spare out some unallocated space for the partition that you want to enlarge.

Here is also some partition tool that can help you ease this job even if there is not any unallocated space. It also does not need a reboot after you extend the server system partition. RAID and dynamic disk is also supported. How to Extend Windows System partition without reboot?

By the way, backup is also recommended, please refer to How to copy partition to backup data?

I read this article, http://www.partition-tool.com/ease [...] reboot.htm and use EASEUS Partition Master, it is so easy to resize a partition on Windows server 2003. Great.

In fact I can shrink and expand the server partition by Diskpart, it is free and provided by Microsoft. If you have unallocated space, you can use this command line. Due to two huge inconvenient, I gave up this tool. Command line, not GUI, cannot expand until there is unallocated space. Fortunately, there are many sw that can resize partitions directly, for example. partition magic, acronis, paragon, easeus, etc. see this server repartition method
