Re-partition Windows Server 2003 harddrive
I need to re-partition the harddrive of a Server 2003 box, preferably without re-formatting. It is the DC, file server, print server, and application server. A previous administrator divided the drive into multiple partitions, the C partition being one of the smallest. I have access to Partition Magic 8, but that will not install on the server. I've tried to wait for a replacement from corporate, but I'm running out of time and space.

There is no need to reboot the server which means you don't need to down the server. All the process is fully protected with the copy features to backup data.
Here is the sulution: http://www.partition-tool.com/resource/repartition-server.htm

BTW, RADI and dynamic disk is also supported. http://www.partition-tool.com/resource/resize-raid-partition.htm

Only when there is unallocated space behind a partition, you can extend it with diskpart.exe, as Diskpart cannot "move" space.
Nowadays, there are many third-party partition tools for Windows server. You just need to drag and move on the disk map, very easy.
Some tools have "hot resize" feature, if your system partition is ntfs, you can extend it without rebooting, so no server downtime.

Partition Magic Alternative for Windows Server 20003
Hi,
As we know Symantec has discontinued Norton Partition Magic 8.0. What???s worse, Partition Magic is only compatible with Windows 98/NT/2000/XP. It is not compatible with Windows Server 2003. But there are many Partition Magic alternatives for Server: http://www.partition-magic.org/res/repartition-hard-drive.html
