Increase partition space on ESXi 6.0 VM (Windows 2003 Server)

Hi all,

I have one (01) vDISK with two partitions c:\ & d:\. (look at the picture)

The quest OS is Windows Server 2003

OS hypervisor is ESXi 6.0

i need to increase (D) partition space ?

My plan is:

1- Poweroff VM

2- Export VM to make backup

3- extend vdisk space

4- Poweron VM

5-Go to disk management of VM OS

6- Select (d) volume and increase the capacity

7-reboot VM

is't correct this way?

Think you

A backup is always a good idea, although it is possible to increase the virtual disk and the D:\ partition online in this case.
