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

-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.

-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.

<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.
