Windows Server 2008 has been released for such a long time and many companies have upgraded to this version. Though Windows Server 2008 provides many new features, it still has some disadvantages:
After running Windows Server 2008 for a period of time, you may find that the system C drive running out of space. You cannot install any updates and other applications. System runs much slower, even crash if there is little free space. What will you do if you encountered such problem? Nobody likes to back up everything, delete all volume, recreate larger C drive and restore everything. In that case, you’ll waste the whole happy weekend to rebuild the Server. Many professionals may recall Partition Magic for Windows 2008 Server.
Can you use Partition Magic for Windows 2008 Server?
Server Magic is the Server edition of Partition Magic from PowerQuest. It has the ability to check, format, delete, resize and copy volume sets on Windows Server.
