Just to avoid any little hiccups along the way, can you confirm that the two
drives you have now are RAID1? And how? Mobo controller RAID, Windows SW
RAID, or ???

Thanks for replying Larry.
I got the internet sorted out...thanks to you. But now Im a bit afraid of
reinstallaing ISA and I kinda feel naked without it...
What software would you recomend for resizing?
The normal full system backup that I run daily, will it be sufficient to
restore the syestem fully?

Hi Poodle:
Guess you got your inet connections straightened out?
Here is the drill on freeing up space on C drives. You might want to
consider resizing the partitions. 10 GB is way undersized by now. Many
are
creating 30+ GB system partitions.

Also:
Look at where the ISA logs are kept
You can move the C:\windows\uninstall$ folders off your systemroot, but
you
may want to keep them in case you have to move them back.
Remove any folders or files under the c:\documents and settings\user
name\local settings\temp folders.
If Monitoring is enabled it can create a file that could be large. Run
through the wizard again to flush out the gooey stuff..
Delete logs older than "date of your choice" from the system32 folder.
Likewise the logs and reports from the ISA folder.
Search for and delete old dmp files.
You can move the page file to another partition. The only downside is
that
if you get a "blue screen" you will not get a full memory dump, and since
only MS can read them anyway, I don't see that it matters much.
You may gain some usable space and increase system performance in Windows
Server 2003 by moving the printer spool files to a different drive than
the
one that holds the operating system. Note that this should be a different
spindle, but a different partition will help the OS a bit also.
By default, Windows Server 2003 places the printer spool folder at
%systemroot%\System32\Spool\Printers. However, you can potentially
increase
system performance by moving the printer spool files to a different drive
than the one that holds the operating system.
Computers frequently access system files, so moving the printer files to
a
different location allows faster access to those files. The drive won't
have
to try to service requests simultaneously.
To change the location for the printer spooler files, follow these steps:
1. Go to Start | Printers And Faxes.
2. From the File menu, select Server Properties.
3. On the Advanced tab, enter the location where you would like to spool
print jobs. If the location doesn't exist, this process will create it
for
you. Make sure the new location has sufficient disk space to handle large
print jobs.
4. Stop and restart the printer spooler service, or reboot the server.

Our server has 2 SATA 250GB HDDs and when we installed SBS, we create a
10GB
partition for it. Now suddenly I have no space left, to be exact about
300MB
is left on the c:. As a result I cant intall any more programs,
especially
WSUS3.
I moved the exchange folder to the E:, still my space isues are not
resolved.
What could be taking up this much space..?
