Windows 2008 boot partition size using smarstart 8.15
Ive installed it with a 50gb which is slightly over, but after making it a DC which is all its going to be, its still got 35gb free.
Surely it cant need this just for future updates/additional roles, is it for hyper-v or am I missing something ?
Thanks
Andy

Re: Windows 2008 boot partition size using smarstart 8.15
The answer is, the SmartStart utility calculate the size requirement based on the operating system, and memory available on the server. The page file, dump file and hibernate file requirements vary based on the available memory. The partition requirement varies based on the operating system requirement as well. If you have standard edition operating system, the OS footprint is low. If you are selecting the Enterprise Edition, the OS foot print will be little higher. And more over, the SmartStart Utility calculates the space requirements based on the Microsoft recommendations and it considers the space for the system with all features and optional components installed.
I hope this answered your question.

So I guess its kinda getting there, just seemed a little high to me as I always make a separate partition for all my programs still as well.
