Here's the process that lead to this strange happening: 1) Took an existing Dell 1655MC Blade Server with a 16GB partition and 52GB partition that had previously been a Windows 2000 server. 2) Booted up that system with the Windows 2003 Install CD 3) Wiped out partitions and re-created them. Quick and easy way to get rid of all the other stuff that had been on that test server. 4) Elected to install on the 16GB C: partition...including a format with NTFS. 5) Went through the entire Windows 2003 install process (not the express setup, custom setup) 6) Once Install was complete, the "low disk space warning" popped up when I logged into the system. 7) Figured it must be temp files from install or something so re-booted. 8) Re-logged in, still had low disk space warning, but went to apply patches via Windows Update. 9) Rebooted after all 26 patches were installed. 10) Puzzled by the low disk space...turned to the collective wisdom of Google first and when that failed to turn up anything I turned to the collective wisdom of this group :)
To my knowledge there are no other tools on the system - Hardware checks using the Dell utility partition declare my disks to be fine. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mulnick, Al Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 12:48 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Windows 2003 Clean Install results in high di sk space utilization What was the goof? Heck, what was the process that got you there in the first place? Sounds like you may have a strange tool or a hardware issue. Details would be helpful.
