Looking for a good open source partition manager that I can use on an enterprise server running Adv Server 2000 or 2003? I have Partition Magic 8.0 but my understanding is that it won't do servers. I saw a workaround on the web that will trick PM into thinking the OS is a Desktop OS but not too sure about it. Any ideas? Running low on diskspace fast! I believe I can use Dskpart.exe (???) for 2003 server but what about the Adv Svr 2000.

You can use diskpart on 2003, and on 2000 Adv Svr, but not on the system volume. Well you can use it on a system volume, but only by slaving the disk into another machine so that the volume you're expanding with diskpart is not the one that you're booted from.

Otherwise, I can't help you regarding open source, but for a paid server level partitioning product, I've used Acronis Disk Director quite nicely (http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/products/diskdirector/).
