Okay here's the problem. I have a small network of about 12 computers on a 2003 Small Business Server Network. The server has 2GB of RAM and three 300 GB harddrives providing services for all the client workstations. All drives on the server are showing plenty of disk space available. However, most of the workstations in the office are showing the mapped drives from the server at 1GB each, while two workstations show the drives at almost empty. I don't understand what the problem might be. All client workstations are mapped to the same drives but most workstations are showing hardly any disk space available. So the workstations showing 1GB of space cannot save or alter any files on the server. It gives them an error saying that there is not enough disk space. Can anyone help. Thanks,

You have a larger issue with no fault tolerance in your server. That is going to bite you big time. Just a matter of time.

Minimally software mirror the OS drive to one of the two other disks.

Imagine the power if you knew how to internet search

I forgot to mention that I have a RAID5 configuration for fault tolerance.
