It will show you the Disk Management window. You can also right-click the Start menu, select Computer Management program here directly and click it. The Disk Management tool will be opened immediately. Or you can open the Windows File Explorer, in the following window, right-click Computer, select Manage. After opening the Disk Management, you can start to use it to partition hard drive for Server You can right-click on a disk or partition, and then, it will display a menu listing all options for different operations.

For example, to extend partition with Disk Management:. In the following screenshot, we are going to extend E: drive with the unallocated space behind it. Right-click E: drive, select Extend Volume. In the Extend Volume Wizard window, select the unallocated space and click Next. Then, the E: drive will be extended with the unallocated space in seconds. However, using Windows Server Disk Management is not always so easy. Sometimes, you will find out the option greyed out.

Disk Management in Windows Server still has restrictions. It can only extend a partition when there is a contiguous unallocated space on the right side of the partition that should be extended.

I am wondering why defrag is scheduled automatically out of the box with Windows Server Wednesday, January 15, AM.

Hi, Based on your description, I check in my Lab environment. Best regards, Justin Gu. Thursday, January 16, AM. Thursday, January 16, PM. Boy that was a shock when my Data and Log files were 'paused' while defrag happened weekly at odd am time.

Wednesday, July 16, PM. Hi Tom, I see we keep running into the same issues ;- Hope things are well other than this pesky defrag issue. You must run chkdsk before you can defragment this volume or drive.

You can determine if a volume is dirty by using the fsutil dirty command. To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run As to perform this procedure.

To increase the free space on a volume, delete unneeded files or move them to another disk. While defrag is analyzing and defragmenting a volume, it displays a blinking cursor. When defrag is finished analyzing and defragmenting the volume, it displays the analysis report, the defragmentation report, or both reports, and then exits to the command prompt.

Running the defrag command and Disk defragmenter are mutually exclusive. If you are using Disk defragmenter to defragment a volume and you run the defrag command at a command-line, the defrag command fails. Conversely, if you run the defrag command and open Disk defragmenter, the defragmentation options in Disk defragmenter are unavailable. Refer to the suggestions from Ronnie Vernon on July 16 th , :.
