DESCRIPTION

The Add-PartitionAccessPath cmdlet adds an access path such as a drive letter or folder to a partition. Access paths can be either a drive letter or a

mount point.





PARAMETERS

-AccessPath [<String>]

Assigns an access path to the partition. An access path can be a drive letter (for example, "C:" or "C:\\") or a path to an empty directory on an

NTFS volume. The access path string does not require a trailing backslash.



Required? false

Position? 3

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-AssignDriveLetter [<SwitchParameter>]

Assigns the next available drive letter to the new partition.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-CimSession [<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-CimSession or

Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DiskId <String[]>

Specifies an ID used to identify a disk in the system.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DiskNumber <UInt32[]>

Specifies an array of disk numbers.



Required? true

Position? 1

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DriveLetter <Char[]>

Specifies a letter used to identify a drive or volume in the system.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Offset <UInt64[]>

Specifies the starting offset, in bytes.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-PartitionNumber <UInt32[]>

Specifies the number of the partition.



Required? true

Position? 2

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]

Specifies that the cmdlet should output an object representing the partition to which you added an access path. By default, this cmdlet does not

generate any output.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ThrottleLimit [<Int32>]

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.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.



Required? false

-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.



Required? false

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).



INPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_Partition

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 30524.aspx





You can pipe a Partition object to the InputObject parameter to specify the partition to which you want to add an access path.





OUTPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_Partition

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 30524.aspx





If you specify the Passthru parameter, this cmdlet outputs a Partition object representing the partition on which you added an access path.





NOTES





Mounted folders are supported only on NTFS-formatted partitions.

You can only assign a single drive letter to a partition. To change the drive letter, use the Set-Partition cmdlet with the NewDriveLetter parameter.

The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The

path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.



Example 1: Add a drive letter to a partition by disk and partition number



PS C:\\>Add-PartitionAccessPath -DiskNumber 1 -PartitionNumber 2 -AccessPath F:



This example adds the access path F: to partition 2 of disk 1.
