REDIRECT Active Directory database
The default location for the Active Directory database is the "c:\windows\ntds" directory, which you can redirect to another disk if you plan to allocate insufficient disk space during the initial deployment of AD DS, or if you are concerned about Active Directory database security. This system problem and later restore, are more convenient than the C disk.
Most people give 2008&2012 system to allocate C disk space will be above 80-100g, in this case, do not redirect partition also become, as long as a good backup can. You can do this yourself, not everyone will do so, the following pictures are I or friends of the company to see reluctant to give a map of the C space! If you really encounter figure 1 this situation, want to do their own steadfast, the role is turned out, kill this, reinstall it, redirected directory has not saved the machine.
