Recently, I noticed a server was nearing the 600 GB hard drive capacity. So (as I have done with other servers), I increased the size of the volume on the SAN. vSphere recognized the increase. Then, I was able to go into Disk Manager and I saw the free space (unpartioned) on the server. I extended the volume without a problem. But, when I go into windows explorer, it still shows the old capacity. Since I have done this before on other servers, I am a little mixed up. I even rebooted it early this morning to see if it would fix it, but it didn't. So, did I miss a key step somewhere? Most of my other servers are windows 2008 R2...this one is windows 2008 standard...is there an issue because of that? It seemed pretty straight forward. I did some preliminary searches this morning, but I couldn't find a definitive answer anywhere yet. So, I thought I would try everyone on here. Any ideas?
Thanks,
