Something nice to say about Microsoft Server 2003...

[hewitt_tech]

My problematic Dell server (SC430) got an upgrade today after most of the electronics were replaced. I added a second 250 GB SATA hard drive and was surprised at how easy it was to mirror the existing drive in place. Microsoft Server 2003 allows you to convert an existing "Basic" disk to a "Dynamic" disk. When you add a second drive all you need to do is right click on an existing partition on the original drive and click "Add Mirror". You then use unallocated space on the second drive which after a synchronization pass becomes a mirror of the first drive's partition. Very easy and a surprise...
