Personally I'd move two of the drives from the DC to the exchange or citrix server to give you more space in either or both of these. (Assuming they have enough drive slots!)
configure exchange server as dc/gc anyway for performance and dc resilience. leaving 2x18Gb mirrored in the DC (this is fine - DC's do not need much disk space esp. for this few users). Move sysvol etc. to the second (data) partition. Then for all servers leave the disk space as one large partition (apart from boot part.) and if necessary use usage monitoring (prob. 3rd party) to keep track as splitting into small partitions will cause problems later on guaranteed. Also I've been using 8Gb boot partitions for future proofing - might be overkill but god knows what size service pack Microsoft may come out with someday ;o) My 2p worth Cheers, > -----Original Message----- > From: Jon B.
