no user will see anything of the change.<br />
but why want you do this?<br />
thats only needed if you want to make a software raid.<br />
and thats no good idea, you should better use a hardware raid controller.

I have inherited 2 windows 2000 servers, and one 2003. I think I want to upgrade the basic disks on these server to dynamic disks. The one thing that makes me hesitate is that all of these servers are also fileservers, and lots of people have networked drives linked to folders on the server. If I upgrade the drives to dynamic, will the users next login still allow for their network drivs to conect? Or will each user need to re-make each network drive?<br />
<br />
Will the drive upgrade to dynamic be invisible to the users, or will they need to re-make the networked drives?<br />
<br />
Of course, I would do this after hours, not when users are live.<br />
<br />
thanks,<br />

2000 server - upgrade basic drives to dynamic

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
