Re: Domain server re-install

Also, it would be very helpful to not have to reset all the policy settings,
user logins, etc. In a nutshell...I would like to just expand the C drive
to use the whole 36GB space. Thanks.

What is the C drive made up of? One complete drive, or a portion of one
drive?

If a portion of one drive, how much space is available on the other
partitions of this or any other physical drives?

And what is the subsystem? On board SATA, Raid1? Raid 5? Discrete
Controller?

If there is room on other partitions, we can show you how to move a ton of
stuff.

Or, you can get a bigger drive(s) and use any of the backup/image -
restore systems.

Works fine if standalone drive or RAID1, tricky if RAID5.

We have a Win 2003 SBS server that has too small of a boot partition (C
drive) so I think we need to re-install the OS and expand the partition
to
use the entire drive. When I re-install the OS can I use the same domain
name and will workstations need to re-join the domain?
Also, is there any other way around this or other options for me?
Thanks.

David
