davidwsteele Posted February 6, 2013 Report post Posted February 6, 2013 I'm trying to do an in-place upgrade from 2008R2 to 2012, everytime I start the process I get a message saying that I don't have enough disk space. No matter how much space I free up, I keep getting the same message, "not enough disk space on drive C:" Has anyone else seen this message?

winoutreach5 Posted March 4, 2013 Report post Posted March 4, 2013 When looking for a solution to your scenario, I came across this TechNet article which states that you need to ensure the drive that hosts the Active Directory database (NTDS.DIT) has free space that represents at least 20% of the NTDS.DIT file prior to attempting to upgrade to Windows Server 2012. If there is insufficient disk space, the upgrade can fail as you have experienced several times. As a possible solution, you might want to try an offline defragmentation of the Active Directory as the above article suggests. For more information and resources concerning Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 you might want to also check out the Windows 8 Springboard Series page on TechNet. Hope this helps!
