Dear Experts! The server I am responsible for is running out of disk space on drive C: When the server was delivered, the drive was partitioned as HD1 C: 12 GB, D: 124 GB I cannot imagine why they done it like that, as now, I only have 150 MB of free space!!!! (in two days it will run out, the way my clients use the server…) Can someone please tell me if it is possible to move the “Documents and Settings” directory from C: to D: drive? This will instantly solve my problem, as that Directory is about 7 GB in size, and grows all the time. If it can be moved to D: there will be enough space for years to come. Thank you in advance!!!

Don't move it, redirect it to e: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/ar... Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

This method does not work, since the server is not configured as a domain, just local users & Groups. (as such, folder redirection is not available in the group policy editor)

You're allowing users to login to your server locally and store their data? Why? Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

I think you can change it byb Go to My computer-->properties-->advanced-->user profiles-->select the profile -->change type browse to drive which is having space-->change permission to concern user. With regards, S. Radha www.salem-radha.com

Couple options come to mind: 1) Get PartionMagic and resize the partitions to the sizes you want 2) use mountvol.exe to have c:\program files map to a separate partition, off of the C drive. 3) use mountvol.exe to have c:\documents and settings map to a separate partition, off of the C drive. #1 is easiest. Options 2 and 3 have other advantages. For example, you can reduce the C drive to mostly just the OS. then take a drive image of C: and if the machine ever becomes unstable, restore C only and your (existing) programs and documents are uneffected. Also, if C is mostly just the OS, then there isn't as much 'churn' on the OS drive and that results in less defrag requirement to keep the system running fast. If you want to use option 2 and 3, you'll need 'robocopy.exe' and boot into 'command prompt only' mode through F8, so you can copy the files to another partition without access violations. Let me know if this isn't enough detail and I'll elaborate. Dean
