Can I use partition magic on Windows Server 2003?

Partition magic does not support Windows Server 2003.

Released on April 24, 2003, Windows Server 2003 (which carries the version number 5.2) is the follow-up to Windows 2000 Server, incorporating compatibility and other features from Windows XP. Unlike Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003's default installation has none of the server components enabled, to reduce the attack surface of new machines. Windows Server 2003 includes compatibility modes to allow older applications to run with greater stability. It was made more compatible with Windows NT 4.0 domain-based networking. Incorporating and upgrading a Windows NT 4.0 domain to Windows 2000 was considered difficult and time-consuming, and generally was considered an all-or-nothing upgrade, particularly when dealing with Active Directory. Windows Server 2003 brought in enhanced Active Directory compatibility, and better deployment support, to ease the transition from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Professional.

You know, a server computer protects the whole network, and usually it stores the most important classified or daily-used files. Once the server computer is down, the whole network turns naked to outside. The security and stability are the most important aspects for server computers. The shinning point of this partition software is that it can resize/move your partitions by using the free space without destroying data. That means the server computer won't lose any data while repartitioning the disk. Remember one thing, keep your server computer safe is to keep your network safe, anything unsure can not be applied on server computers.

Though you may not able to use Partition Magic on Windows Server 2003, you can use some partition software which run under DOS to manage the partitions of Windows Server 2003. Anyway, as a common computer user, most of them do not like DOS. So, here we talk something under Windows directly, such as EASEUS Partition Manager Server Edition.

With the help of EASEUS Partition Manager Server Edition which is the alternative to Partition Magic on Windows Server 2003 and Server 2000, you can resize/move, create, delete, format partitions on your hard disk quickly and easily.
