How big is the C: partition?
There's a lot of SBS stuff that can be moved off the C: partition:
* Exchange databases
* pagefile
* user/company data
* ClientApps
* SQL/MSDE databases (eg Sharepoint)
Then there are other little bits that may require simple routine management:
* temporary files
* server local profiles
* C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles
* Exchange BadMail folder
A full SBS2000 installation should be able to cope with a 4Gb C:
partition, though that would pretty much require all the stuff I mention
above to be off the C: partition, and the maintenance stuff to be kept
under control.
