On a 244 GB disk I had 20% available disk space when starting defragmenter. After running for like 24hours (only came to 20%) the disk space was reduced to 16%. I then turned stopped the defragmenter since I have read at least 15% disk space befor running.<br />
<br />
I also did the defragmenter 10 days ago on the same server but not with theese results.<br />
<br />
Any Ideas?

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

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).
