Q:
Resize partition on SBS 2003
SBS 2003, Microsoft Small Business Server, Microsoft Small Business Server 2003, Acronis True Image, Partitioning
I have inherited a problem on an SBS2003 server where the primary partition holding the OS is running out of space. The hard drive is partitioned as C: holding the OS and any vital apps and D: holding nothing but data.

I have plenty of space to rob from the D: partition.

My problem is there is very little money to purchase a product like Acronis. Are there any safe and free (or inexpensive) alternatives?

I found a product that looks promising. I have the Demo version, but have not actually resized yet.

EaseUS Partition Master Server Edition. The client version has received very good reviews.

This problem is not hard to solve, just resize partition D to be smaller and extend the OS partition with the unallocated space. I also think acronis $699 is too expensive, try partition magic alternative, it works very well on all kinds of server, only around $100, worth trying, there is a tutorial how to repartition server.
