Stupid Question of the day
- OK, I have a 2003 R2 and the guy who was there before me only set the OS partition for 12 GB. I have plenty of room on the drive, so can I resize the OS partition using Disk Manager or do I have to reformat and redo the drive allover. It has been a while and I seem to remember I can resize but not sure. Thanks again for answering my stupid question...

- Hi,
in Server 2003 R2 you can't dynamicaly resize the partition, this is only available since Server 2008. What you can do is use a 3rd party application which can resize partitions. Make sure you have a backup of the machine before you do this.
