Someone (I don't remember who) pointed me to a utility on Dell's site that will extend the C drive called ExtPart. I use it on my VM's after I deploy from a template all the time. I've only ever used it on 1 or 2 physical servers but I have never had an issue with it.

Diskpart Used it many of times. No real gotchas at all. Quick and friendly, but I would make sure you have a good backup whenever doing a major disk/partition change. I have never used it in a software raid or spanning scenario. Its always been HW Raid expanded, then Windows see free space and we just gobble it up using diskpart. -----Original Message----- From: Cesare' A.

Anyone out there ever use diskpart.exe to grow a RAID5 array on MS Windows 2003 server? How about a standard storage array? Thoughts, gotchas, recommendations.. Inquiring minds.. Thanks.
