The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can i delete the file ITAssist_Log.LDF file to free up space on a full partition

Asked by cdubbcisco in Windows 2003 Server, Hard Drives & Storage, dBase

I have a dell server
model is a PowerEdge 1800
It is running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP 2
When i go into computer management and then disk managementit appears that i have 2 drives
Disk 0 has 2 partitions:C: and D:
C: IS ONLY 20GB AND only has about 125MB of free space while D: is 130GB AND has 97GB of free space
Is it possible to extend C partition into D considering D has all that room?
That would take care of my headache right there.
And if so how would i do that?

and Disk 1 has 1 partition :Drive E

Finally i noticed that this file ITAssist_Log.LDF is over 1GB
Can this be deleted?
it sits under the folder structure: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data

I don't believe SQL is even used on the server
All this server is currently being used for is a File Server and it is also running MS Sharepoint
for are Intranet Web Page
I noticed that the SQLServer Service in the bottom right task bar is stopped and there are no user issues so i assume if it is not running that it is probably not needed?

thanks
