Windows Server 2019 Disk Management

In fact, some basic Server disk managements you need can be satisfied by system tool.
Windows Disk Management is a built-in utility in Windows Server that allows users to manage
storage devices such as hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), and external storage devices. It
provides several key functionalities:

▶ Partition Management Disk Management enables users to create, delete, format, and resize
partitions on their storage devices. This allows for efficient organization and allocation of disk
space.

▶ Disk Initialization Users can use Disk Management to initialize newly installed disks,
preparing them for use with the server. This process involves selecting the disk type (MBR or
GPT) and creating a partition table on the disk.

▶ Volume Management Disk Management facilitates the creation and management of volumes,
which are logical storage units within partitions. Users can assign drive letters, mount points,
and file systems to volumes, making them accessible to the operating system and applications.

▶ Disk Maintenance Disk Management provides tools for disk maintenance tasks such as
marking partitions as active, changing drive letters, and converting disk types between basic
and dynamic.

▶ Disk Properties Users can view detailed information about their storage devices, including
disk capacity, free space, partition layout, and disk status.

🌟Tips:
How do I access Disk Management on Windows Server?

“diskmgmt.msc” in the box and press Enter.
2. Go to ”Control Panel” > ”System and Security” > ”Administrative Tools” > ”Create and format
disk partitions”.

3. Right-click the Start menu and select Server Manager. In the Server Manager interface,

Advanced Windows Server manager for disk and partition

Once you've used Windows Disk Management to modify your disks and manage your partitions
and drives, you'll see that it has a lot of limits, which are also evident concerns. If you're trying to
expand C drive and encounter the "Extend Volume" option being greyed out, it might be because
there isn't any free space on the disk. To convert a disk to GPT, you'll have to remove all data
and partitions from the target drive. Furthermore, there is no way to clone a drive for a speedy
update or to transfer software to free up space without risking data loss.

Therefore, it is thoughtful to choose AOMEI Partition Assistant Server, a superior server disk
management application, to circumvent all restrictions of Windows Disk Management. AOMEI
Partition Assistant Server is compatible with Windows Server 2025, 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012 (R2)
, which simplifies duties and compensates for the shortcomings of the Server snap-in Disk
Management utility.
