Some years ago I used Partition Magic the popular partition software published by PowerQuest. The product worked well for some time until the company changed ownership. While it was a good utility but there was something missing – server support. Furthermore, Partition Magic is no longer for selling.
Fortunately, there are partition manager server, besides Paragon Partition Manager server, there are other similar partition manager for Windows Servers, for example, Acronis Disk Director Server, Partition Magic Server and Partition Assistant Server, etc. All partition manager servers support Windows Server 2000, 2003 and 2008, including 32bit and 64bit. Though Windows Server 2008 has been released for a long time, many people still use Server 2003, so a good partition manager server 2003 is useful.
