Hello,

Did you try that :

# Variable specifying the drive you want to extend  
$drive_letter = "C"  
  
# Script to get the partition sizes and then resize the volume  
$size = (Get-PartitionSupportedSize -DriveLetter $drive_letter)  
Resize-Partition -DriveLetter $drive_letter -Size $size.SizeMax

Tried the same PowerShell command but it will return an error,

"At line:1 char:65

+......ionSupportedSize -DriveLetter $drive_letter) Resize-Partition -DriveL.......
+

Unexpected token 'Resize-Partition' in expression or statement.

Running the PowerShell script on a windows server 2019 core. Does this shell Script still valid?
