Question

You are the IT Administrator for a small corporate network. Until now, the network has consisted only of workstations accessing the Internet through a consumer grade switch. You have convinced management that adding a server would ease your administrative burden. As a result, you are testing various configurations of the Windows Server 2012 operating system.

You have installed Windows Server 2012 on a server named CorpServer. During installation, you created a single volume for the operating system using 200 GB on the first disk. Two additional unused disks are installed in the server.

Complete the following tasks:
Extend the System (C:) volume to use the remaining space on Disk 0.
Create a new volume using Disk 1 and Disk 2 with the following settings: Use all of the disk space on Disk 1 and 600 GB (614400 MB) on Disk 2.
Drive letter = M
File System = NTFS
Volume label = Data

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are using Windows Server 2012 these tasks are much easier. In order to accomplish this, you simply need to click on Disk Management in the GUI and then right-click on the 200 GB drive and click on the option that says "Extend Drive". Finally, choose the max available space for the drive and click accept. This will extend the drive completely to use all of the space. The same process can be done for changing the Drive Letter and Volume Label by right-clicking the drive and choosing the corresponding option. In order to get convert the file system to NTFS (assuming it is Fat32) you simply need to open command prompt and type the following command.

convert m: /fs:ntfs

where m is the actual drive letter of the drive in question.
