Can I resize a system partition?
Hi experts
Does anyone know the best way to resize a Windows Server system partition?
My Exchange server 2003 on Windows 2003 R2 only has a 20GB C: drive. It's a VMWARE VM. It's running out of space rapidly. Are there any tools or best methods to add more space to the drive?
I have used DISKPART before but obviously not on a System partition. I have heard Acronis do a tool?
Thanks

@ andyalder & noxcho - Have you found these options you each posted to work on virtual machines? This is a case of a virtual machine.
Indeed they will work with VMware, using diskpart (admittedly from another live VM rather than from CD but that's no difference) is even mentioned in the copy/paste you posted from Leon Meijer's Weblog.
Yes for sure. One can boot from gparted ISO file or Recovery CD for Partition Manager 10 - both will do the trick.
OK very cool... I only read up to the part that I saw would fix asker's issue.

acronis disk director server does that,
but at first ..do u have the HDD in raid...then ensure a backup..
diskpart will do it but only if u have unallocated space in the same disk..
