Resize dynamic disc partition on DC?

by mcarvell . Updated 14 years, 9 months ago

I recently overtook a messy network in which the 18GB SCSI Raid 0+1 C:\ drive was partitioned to the 3.9GB NT4 limit on an HP Proliant ML370 server.
To my horror, the logfiles themselves have almost choked this drive out of space. I was able to move the swap and spool to the storage array on it’s E:\ drive, but that is still leaving me with only 200MB left free on C:!

I know this wont be pretty on a domain controller with a dynamic disc partition, but the drive itself has so much more room, and I’m not willing to go with the Microsoft answer of starting all over from square one. I’ve been told by others it can’t be done, and I refuse to believe it.
