For administrators of Windows Server 2003 server operating system, it is very difficult to
extend server 2003 partition because the built-in

However, the Extend Partition operation is pretty significant for server management, because it helps solve common partition space lack. Most Windows Server 2003 administrators choose to use the third-party server
partition magic to extend server partition.
