Hi all,
I have an RDS farm (NO hyper V installed) and 1 user have his VHDX full.
Now I need to resize it whith Resize-VirtualDisk, but it want the "-FriendlyName" parameter.
I don't know the friendly name of the 50 vhdx of my RDS Farm, how can I know them?

Is there a way to use the FS name like:
UVHD-S-x-y-zz-32819wwwww-zzzz02738-yyyyyyyyyy-xxxx.vhdx
instead of the friendlyname parameter?
If yes, how?

TIA
Arnaldo
