Resizing partition is a rather necessary management operation for server managers when they manage server. But this apparently simple operation troubles server managers a lot because of two reasons:
1. Windows Server 2003 built-in
disk management tool has no shrink or
extend partition function. Hence, server managers can't realize resizing partition with Windows Server 2003 built-in disk management tool.
2. As most
partition magic is developed for common Windows operating systems, they are incompatible with Windows Server 2003. It is hard for server managers to find a suitable partition magic to resize server partition.
These two are the causes of why server managers can't realize resizing Server 2003 partition easily. However, this situation has been changed by the release of
MiniTool Partition Wizard by
MiniTool Solution Ltd.. MiniTool Partition Wizard has different editions for different users, for example
MiniTool Partition Wizard Server Edition for server managers, helping users realize resizing partition easily in server. Next, let me show you how MiniTool Partition Wizard resizes server partition.

MiniTool Partition Wizard resizes dynamic volume
Dynamic disk is not strange for server managers. More and more servers are employing dynamic disk for better data security and management. You should know that resize dynamic disk is not an easy thing, because not only built-in disk management tool but also most partition magic can't realize this operation. But the great MiniTool Partition Wizard is able to realize it easily.
When we employ dynamic disk in computer, we will see the following interface after launching MiniTool Partition Wizard:
At this time, select the dynamic volume to resize, and click on "
Move/Resize" button. The operation process is similar to resizing partition in
basic disk. What you need pay attention to is that when resizing simple volume, if there is unallocated space in other disks, we can extend simple volume to spanned volume with unallocated space so that we can get larger capacity.
