Hi there. We had a Small Business Server consultant set up our server about a year ago. He configured the partitions as such:

C: 25.7GB
D: 109GB

While this worked fine for a while, we've started to outgrow our C: and often get really low in disk space (sometimes around 3GB, sometimes even less). When this happens, things start to get a little weird... mail will get bounced, backups stop, etc. The guy who set us up came back and moved our swap file to D: which helped a little but we're still hovering around 3GB, which isn't even enough to defrag.

I'm fairly XP savvy, but not incredibly Server 2003 savvy, so when I read about running cleanups of old drivers, etc., I'm not sure how safe they are for our needs.

All the server is currently doing is:
Running Exchange
Hosting a Filemaker database
Hosting Quickbooks
Hosting Antivirus crap

All data associated with the above programs are on the D:, including the Exchange mailstore.

Could anyone offer some pointers? The guy who set us up won't even return calls now, so I'm guessing we'll have to find a new guy.

Thanks a ton.

Suppose you didn't use a swap file and let it be done in memory?
