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 []

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 []

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 []

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

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

Specifies an array of disk numbers. Required? true Position? 1 Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-DriveLetter

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

Accept wildcard characters? false

-PartitionNumber

Specifies the number of the partition. Required? true Position? 2 Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-PassThru []

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 []

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 PowerShellr 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

INPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_Partition http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/hh830524.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/windows/desktop/hh830524.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.
