i would backup anything crucial &nbsp; exchange etc. and rebuild completely, you run way to many risks trying to repartition and change your RAID config<br />
<br />
i wouldnt even take the chance myself. it also gives you the oppurtunity to have exchange properly installed and a clean install of windows also

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
i have a server installed with a 4 GB boot partition (with the system files) or the C: drive.<br />
the disk is near the capacity, only few mb left.<br />
the server is a w2k3 dc server with sp1 installed, exchange db files are on the second partiion D:<br />
i want to change the raid5 config of 3 18GB drives to a mirror of 2 x72GB.<br />
the intention is to keep the 2 partitions but with a greater boot partion of 16GB.<br />
<br />
the server is the only dc in the domain<br />
exchange is installed on the server too (i know it is not the m$ preferred solution)<br />
<br />
<br />
what should i do best ?<br />

SERVER MIGRATION

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
