DESCRIPTION
The Resize-Partition cmdlet resizes a partition and the underlying file system.
PARAMETERS
-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. The number of the partition to be resized.
Required? true
Position? 2
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]
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.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Size <UInt64>
Specifies the size of the partition to create. If not specified, then the number will default to Bytes. The acceptable values for this parameter

Required? true
Position? 3
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
Position? named
Default value false
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
