Resize Partition Windows Server 2003 comments operating system operating system

Hello

I need to improve some of my Windows Server 2003 VMS to 2008 to take advantage of some new features, but due to constraints of size of drive when these 2003 VMs were created, they have very small OS partitions.  I can resize the disk located in the partition, but I wonder how can I resize the partition so that I'll have enough free space to upgrade in-place to Windows Server 2008.

I don't know there is a clever trick to do this with VMWare...

Thank you in advance.

I also found using VMware Converter is the best solution and simpler if you have space just clone with great drive and connected with this or remove the old servers and it always works great.

If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

Kind regards

  • Resize the Windows Server 2003 boot partition

    My client has Server 2003 with a RAID. The system volume / start is 12 GB. Right next to this boot on the partition volume is 30 GB of unallocated space. The rest of the disk is allocated to a separate partition in which all their data lives.

    Can I expand the boot volume to include the 30 GB of unallocated space? If so, how?

  • Modem for Windows Server 2003 comments?

    Have a client who we want to virtualize, one of the Windows Server 2003 servers and has a modem attached to it for incoming/outgoing faxes. How would the more successful to get a modem on a box of ESXi 4 through to Windows Server 2003 without problems?

    I would like to watch the series on IP.  You will take ESXi and your material out of the image that's going to be the virtual machine, to communicate with the device.  Digi makes these devices - http://www.digi.com/products/serialservers/ or if you are looking for in the forums, you will see what others use.

  • Free virtualization software takes supported Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system?

    People,

    Hello. I need to install the Windows 7 host virtualization software, and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

    VMware Workstation supports Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system, but it's not free download.

    People know that supports virtualization software free Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system invited?

    Thanks in advance.

    As I said in your previous post, VMWare Player is a free download and does not support Win7 as host and Win2k3 as a guest.  VMWare Player is also included with VMWare Workstation, you can imply that most of the time something that supports VMWare Workstation as a guest operating system is also a guests supported for the reader.

    And unlike previous versions, player 3 includes the ability to create virtual machines base.  For many people, especially those who are starting just in virtualization, player is sufficient.

    VMWare Workstation, although not free, can be installed as a 30 day trial.  After the trial, you can not start your virtual machines in my computer, but because the player is included in the installation, you can still run your virtual machines in the drive without having to uninstall anything.  So just install Workstation.  After the trial expires, if you wish that the advanced features of the workstation, then buy it.  If not, just continue to use the drive.

  • What support VMware Windows 7 as a guest host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system operating system?

    People,

    Hello.

    Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 and cannot dual boot multiple operating systems. I need to install VMware in Windows 7 host and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

    I installed VMware Server 2.0.2 in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 operating system as a guest host. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333 / IU cannot display more.

    I found that Windows 7 is not a host for VMware Server 2 and strange operating system might happen at any time. I found that 'VMware Player 3' is fully supported in Windows 7 as host operating system but is not taken in charge of Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

    People knows what product VMware Windows 7 support as host operating system and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system prompted?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    IMHO, I think that Workstation is the vmware product just for you, the requirements

    It supports Windows 7 as a facilitator and Windows 2003 as a host with no problems. You can be confident about it at 100%.

  • Satellite A200-1BJ: Windows Server 2003 need display driver

    Dear Sir.

    A couple of days, I bought laptop Toshiba Satellite A200-1BJ of Jarir Book Store, Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia.
    The system configuration is provided by the company.
    Operating system: Windows Vista editions Home Premium
    300 hard drive space is divided into two partitions:
    C - Vista with Go 138
    D data disk seen 139 GK

    I installed windows Server 2003 on the D drive. However, the hibernation and Eve features do not appear in the windows server 2003 OS. According to the Microsoft articale, these two functions becomes active only after the installation of the correct display drivers.

    My computer is the "Mobility Radeon HD2600" display device. I search all over the internet and also interviewed via e-mail at ati.com (the manufacturer of this device). I could not the device driver compatible for Windows Server 2003. According to the ATI support staff, I need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop is Toshiba himself.

    Can anyone provide me the site or the software driver for "Mobility Radeon HD2600.

    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards.

    Hello

    Are you looking for the drivers for Windows Server 2003?
    Well, I think you will find all the drivers Win Server 2003 because this drivers don t exist.

    Win Server 2003 operating system was designed based on windows XP.
    So usually the drivers Win XP should work!

    Furthermore, as you are probably aware that the Win Server 2003 operating system is not supported by Toshiba you need to search on sites of third 3rd ATI graphic driver.

    Maybe a site www.omegadrivers.net might help you.

    But note; 3 third party drivers can be installed ONLY at your own RISK! Why?
    Because these drivers have not been tested and so no one can tell if the laptop will run stable and will work properly after installing these drivers.

    I bought a 2950 on Ebay the month last but never had the intention on the installation of a Windows operating system, but I downloaded the ISO of DVD here file and installed without any problem they send you a key to save the operating system. I updated the bios after this and no problem. You never said how many hard drives you have, but make sure that you have two or more. So far, I've installed VMWare ESXi which was supported on 2950 but I settled with XenServer 6.5.0 and I 2003 server running as a virtual machine which works very well.

    I have a Dell XPS workstation I have recently reinstalled Windows 7 on it but I had only one drive is connected and the operating system could not see all of the hard drives. After that a second device and do not use raid on this machine, I was able to install Windows. I tried the ISO Live Dell 2850 version but it is not a. Which includes diagnostic tools. When you by a Dell there pre installed in a hidden partition on the disk utility, you can run, but it really isn't anything I know install that. Usually the F12 key will give you a list of items to boot from and if she isn't here the disk, it cannot run. The diagnostic utility that is.

  • Windows Server 2003 r2 to the Horizon

    Hi everyone, we are running out of sight Horizon 5.3.0 build-1427931, works very well for OS al lthe modern we attached, end user connects via a Wyse Zero Client P45.

    We have an obligation to run a number of VMs of Windows Server 2003 r2, and I would include these in the field of the view of the Horizon as they should be used as workstations in training. Agent 5.3 is not compatible with this version of Windows, I'm looking for suggestions on how best to achieve this requirement. A previous, compatible Agent version HV work?

    The current alternative thinking is to build a basic Windows 7 or 8 comments with the agent of the HV and run an RDP session off the 2003 server machine. The only downside is that it doubles the amount of machines, I need running.

    Any ideas or suggestions are welcome!

    Kind regards

    Tim

    2003 R2 can be used only as a source of server terminal server in sight. You can run 2008 R2 VM as sources with a view Desktop 5.3, but otherwise you should use the versions of desktop operating system.

    > When I insert the CD, the "install Windows Server 2003" is disabled
    What do you mean by people with disabilities?

    You are not able to boot from the CD?

    In these cases, please press the C button immediately after switching on the laptop. This should allow booting from the CD/DVD drive.
    Alternatively, you can try to press the F12 key instead of the C key. This should allow the start menu. Then you could choose the STRANGE as boot device and might try to boot from the CD-ROM Server Win.
