Description
The Resize-Partition cmdlet resizes a partition and the underlying file system.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\>Get-Partition -DiskNumber 3 -PartitionNumber 2
Disk Number: 3
PartitionNumber DriveLetter Offset Size Type
--------------- ----------- ------ ---- ----
2 D 135266304 931.39 GB Basic
Resize the partition to 900GB.
PS C:\>Resize-Partition -DiskNumber 3 -PartitionNumber 2 -Size (900GB)
The partition is now 900GB.
PS C:\>Get-Partition -DiskNumber 3 -PartitionNumber 2
Disk Number: 3
PartitionNumber DriveLetter Offset Size Type
--------------- ----------- ------ ---- ----
2 D 135266304 900 GB Basic
Get the partition sizes.
PS C:\>$size = (Get-PartitionSupportedSize -DiskNumber 3 -PartitionNumber 2)
Resize to the maximum size.
PS C:\>Resize-Partition -DiskNumber 3 -PartitionNumber 2 -Size $size.SizeMax
This example starts with a 931.39 GB partition.
Parameters

-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSessionhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=227967 or Get-CimSessionhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=227966 cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-DiskId
Specifies an ID used to identify a disk in the system.
Type: | String[] |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | True |
Accept pipeline input: | True |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-DiskNumber
Specifies the number of the disk.
Type: | UInt32[] |
Position: | 0 |
Default value: | None |
Required: | True |

-InputObject
Accepts an object from the pipeline as input.
Type: | CimInstance[] |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | True |
Accept pipeline input: | True |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Offset
Specifies the starting offset, in bytes.
Type: | UInt64[] |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | True |
Accept pipeline input: | True |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-PartitionNumber
Specifies the number of the partition. The number of the partition to be resized.
Type: | UInt32[] |
Aliases: | Number |
Position: | 1 |
Default value: | None |
Required: | True |
Accept pipeline input: | True |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-PassThru
Sends items from the interactive window down the pipeline as input to other cmdlets. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
To send items from the interactive window down the pipeline, click to select the items and then click OK. Shift-click and Ctrl-click are supported.
Type: | SwitchParameter |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Size
Specifies the size of the partition to create. If not specified, then the number will default to Bytes. The acceptable values for this parameter are: Bytes, KB, MB, GB, or TB. The size may be defined by a user.

Position: | 2 |
Default value: | None |
Required: | True |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0
is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.
The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
Type: | Int32 |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
