I've searched the forum and cannot find an answer to my problem. Im a newbie so will
try and explain what the problem is.
We have a Dell Server running Small Business Server 2003 with a hard disk that is
partioned into C and D. The D drive is fine and has pleanty of space, but for some
reason the C drive which holds the windows installation is almost full. 100MB of
free space, i went in last night and managed to clear out some temp files and got
an extra 500MB, i went to the server this morning and its down to 20MB!!! of free
space. What could be eating this space up so quickly? Any help or advice is GREATLY
APPRECIATED
cheers
Noel

Free up some more space and try using SequoiaView 1.3 to see where the space is going.

Are updates being stored on the C Drive? If so, simply move the NTunistall folders
to the D Drive. Are you using the Windows backup utility and is it set to store the
backup on the C Drive? If so, redirect the path. Are you using Exchange? If so,
move the Information store to the D Drive if it is on C.
To check and see where all your space is being used, open the C Drive and check all
folder/file sizes.
