EaseUS Partition Master 17 Server is disk-partitioning software for Windows Server that resizes, clones, converts, and recovers partitions without reinstalling the operating system. It applies partition changes on a live server, so storage maintenance does not force production downtime.
No Downtime – Adjust partitions while the server runs
Partition Recall – Restores partitions when a move is interrupted
RAID-5 Repair – Rebuild failed RAID-5 volumes in clicks
Bootable Media – WinPE disk boots and repairs dead servers
Command Line – Script disk tasks across multiple servers
Dynamic Volumes – Resize and convert dynamic disks safely
It is a disk management tool that creates, resizes, moves, merges, and splits partitions on Windows Server without rebooting. It clones disks or partitions and migrates a Windows Server installation to a new SSD or HDD without reinstalling the system. Partition Recall Protection guards against corruption: if a resize or move is interrupted by power loss, it cancels the operation and restores the partition to its original state. It also converts a system disk between MBR and GPT without data loss and can recover deleted or damaged partitions in one click.
It is built for IT administrators and system owners who manage storage on Windows Server 2003 through 2022. The practical case it solves: a production server's system drive runs low on space and you need to extend the C: partition without rebooting or reinstalling Windows Server, which the built-in Windows tools cannot do when the free space is not adjacent to the system volume. It also suits admins replacing aging server disks, because it clones the full disk and applies 4K alignment when moving the OS to an SSD. The Server edition is a single-machine license, so one purchase covers one server or workstation.
All three editions share the same partitioning, cloning, RAID-5 repair, and migration tools; the difference is how many machines you may run them on and whether you can serve external clients. The Server edition is a single license for one machine. The Unlimited edition allows installation on an unlimited number of PCs, laptops, and servers within one company. The Technician edition adds the right to deliver paid disk-management services to third-party clients. Choose Server for one server, Unlimited for a whole company's fleet, and Technician for IT service providers.

No. The Server edition is a single-machine license for one server or workstation, not a company-wide rollout. To manage an unlimited number of PCs, laptops, and servers inside one organization you need the Unlimited edition, and to run disk-management jobs for external clients you need the Technician edition. This matters when comparing editions: a single-server license only fits one machine, so larger fleets quickly justify the Unlimited tier. Confirm how many physical servers you maintain before choosing this edition.
Yes. The Migrate OS feature clones the system partition or the whole drive to a new SSD or HDD so the server boots from the new disk without a fresh Windows Server install or reconfiguration. During the move it applies 4K alignment, which keeps an SSD performing at full speed after the transfer. The clone runs file-by-file or sector-by-sector, and Partition Recall Protection helps safeguard data if the process is interrupted. For an unbootable server, you can run the same clone and partition tasks from a WinPE bootable disk.
It manages internal and external HDDs, SSDs, USB drives, SD and memory cards, and RAID arrays, on both MBR and GPT disks. Supported file systems include NTFS, ReFS, FAT32, FAT16, FAT12, EXT2, and EXT3, which covers standard Windows Server volumes as well as Linux-formatted drives you may need to inspect. It also handles dynamic disks — resizing, cloning, and converting dynamic volumes to basic without deleting them — and repairs a degraded RAID-5 volume after a disk failure. Windows Storage Spaces virtual disks created from a storage pool are supported too.
Yes. The Server edition includes a command-line mode, so administrators can create, resize, or move partitions through script input instead of the graphical interface. This helps automate routine disk tasks across servers and reduces manual steps during maintenance windows.
Yes. It converts a system disk from MBR to GPT or from GPT to MBR without deleting partitions or losing data, which is needed when moving a server to UEFI boot or past the 2 TB limit of MBR disks. The conversion runs on the system disk directly, so you avoid wiping and rebuilding the drive.
Yes. It supports Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2019, and 2022, so the same tool covers legacy servers and current ones. This lets administrators standardize on a single partition utility across a mixed-generation server environment.
