extend volume using powershell
Hi all.
Have a 2012 R2 server core with 10GB C drive. Using Hyper-V I added an additional 5GB. Problem I have, how do I extend the drive? I can't access 'Disk Management' using remote MMC. I had previous question in EE and thought we'd fixed it, but no. I can do anything else remotely except access that MMC console, so I can't simply extend the volume. This isn't a question about not getting to MMC, I've had it with that and given up, I put that down to crappy core.
I need a command that lets me see the available space. I try Get-Volume but it only shows the 10GB. And I need the command that will expand the disk to use up the other 5GB.
Thanks for looking

How many columes do you have on the drive? If only C then start cmd on that machine - run diskpart.exe and use it to extend C drive.
