Check whether the system logs are what is eating up the space. I had the same issue only to realise that was the culprit. They are normally in system32/winevt/logs folder

This is  brilliant, just like other ideas here but i am inclined to try this first. It looks like the faster and safer way to get back up.
Of course the backup is paramount and I shall embark on it first.

Test it on a different machine first. And of course have backup. Of course you could also purchase the full version or borrow from torrents

Bwana, 

 

Thanks for that but this is a trial. It could do the job but what if it stops somewhere in the middle with a "Easeus cannot continue until you purchase a licence"?

EaseUS Partition Master has worked fine for me before.

 

With the usual caveats, of course

Hi Skunks

 

I have this Domain Controller that has serious space issues on drive C. 

Apparently, other drives have space that I would love to borrow from but the Disk Management wont shrink/extend. 

I have taken the risk to pop in Mepis Linux Live CD wishing it would run in RAM and give me GParted but i dont think Win Server was made like that.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated, even the most obvious, I don't mind running through them with a fresh pair of eyes

Running Win 2008 Server Standard
