Extend A Partition During Production Hours

I have a Windows 2008 R2 server with a 700 GB NTFS partition on a basic disk.  I have another 800 GB of unallocated space on the same disk.

I need to extend the 700 GB partition to include the 800 GB.  Am I able to extend the partition while users are connected to the file shares on same partition?
