Hi guys,
I'm just starting to setup my lab environment for the 70-290 and 70-291 exams. I was wondering what the best disk configurations are for various server roles;

domain controllers
file servers
routers

This should be the best possible configuration for redundancy and DR.

Well, are you working with virtual PC's? In that case you can add new disk later on, so it does not really matter.
When working with real PC's, take care NOT to take the complete disk in one partition. In 290 you will be creating some raid stuff, so you'll need to be able to create some extra partitions. Also in using RIS and (W)SUS you'll need a second partition.
