I have a server with 1 Terabyte of Disk space, 11 GB of which is allocated (7.5 GB currently available) to the C Drive. I need to install SQL 2005 and all goodies plus Team Foundation Server and other software "without filling up the c drive".

I have never been successful with a configuration like this as a lot of space on C is taken regardless of the selected install locations.

1. Is allocating disk space with this little left for C a standard practice for a general use server?

2. Is there a white paper somewhere that indicates how much space is required to be free on the OS drive for Team Foundation Server and SQL Server 2005? I have looked at the installation requirements and have only found general disk space requirements.

3. Should meeting the above requirements be easier than they have been for me so far?

Hi Preston,

Can you please verify that this is still an issue. If it is, I will have someone assigned to provide help.

Thanks.

I moved on to bigger and better things where I have more say on how the servers are configured. Nobody else got it working that way either so I guess they just went out and got another server. So, no, it is no longer a problem anymore -- unless you pay taxes.

I guess that answers 2 & 3. I'm still curious about question 1, although I suppose I already know the answer to that one too.

Thanks,

pjp
