Server 2003 Recommended Partition Size

This is NOT the industry recommended size. This is what we do here based upon initial installtion size, plus all the service packs, hotfixes and updates on a stand alone server what we might upgrade to a DC with DNS,DHCP GC.

Bootable partition with system files 15GB

page/Swap file 5 GB

DFS storage 5 GB

Freespace 5 GB

We use partition commander 9.0 for resizing basic drives utilizing free space.
