Click on “Apply” on the toolbar to commit the pending operation. Then drag the slider to the right side to extend it and click “OK”.

Right click the aim partition and select “Resize Partition”. Then you will find the unallocated space is moved to the right adjacent side of the target partition. Then drag the slider to the right to move it and click on “OK”. Right click the partition that locates in the way of the aim partition and unallocated space and select “Move Partition”. Install and run AOMEI Partition Assistant Lite.

You can click the button and learn how to extend a volume via this free partition magic in Server. For resizing partition, it allows you to move partition to make unallocated space adjacent to the aim partition, and then extend the volume smoothly. It is able to create, format, delete and check partitions. To resize partition, especially extend a partition, on Windows Server more conveniently, you can free download the AOMEI Partition Assistant Lite Edition. Therefore, today we would like to introduce another partition magic manager for Windows Server users. Moreover, the Symantec website states, “Sorry, we no longer offer Norton Partition Magic” on October 13, 2011. However, this tool cannot run on Windows Vista and later versions, and Server editions of Windows NT, 2000, 2003, etc. To get around such hassles and extend partition more easily, you can turn to the third-party partition manager like Partition Magic. Of course, doing that will erase all data on the deleted volume, so a backup is necessary.

As a workaround, you can delete the partition, which is located right behind the to-be-extended partition, to get an adjacent unallocated space, and then extend the partition successfully. However, the “Extend Volume” is clickable only when there is unallocated space right adjacent to the aim partition, or you will find the extend volume greyed out in Server Disk Management.

The good news is that the “Extend Volume” and “Shrink Volume” features are added to Disk Management in the subsequent Server operating systems, like Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, etc. Especially the Server system is almost full and needs to be extended in time, otherwise, the OS will run slower and slower. The significant advantages make it quite challenging for Windows Server users to increase or decrease partition size based on their personal requirements. It is well known that the Disk Management in Windows Server 2000, 2003 does not have the features of 'Extend Volume' and “Shrink Volume”.
