expose
Exposes a persistent shadow copy as a drive letter, share, or mount point.
Syntax
expose <shadowID> {<drive:> | <share> | <mountpoint>}
Parameters
Parameter
Description
shadowID
Specifies the shadow ID of the shadow copy you want to expose. You can also use an existing alias or an environment variable in place of shadowID. Use add without parameters to see existing aliases.
<drive:>
Exposes the specified shadow copy as a drive letter (for example, p:).
<share>
Exposes the specified shadow copy at a share (for example, \\machinename).
<mountpoint>
Exposes the specified shadow copy to a mount point (for example, C:\shadowcopy).
<drive:>
p:
<share>
\\machinename
<mountpoint>
C:\shadowcopy
Examples
To expose the persistent shadow copy associated with the VSS_SHADOW_1 environment variable as drive X, type:
expose %vss_shadow_1% x:
extend
Applies to: Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012
Extends the volume or partition with focus and its file system into free (unallocated) space on a disk.
Syntax
extend [size=<n>] [disk=<n>] [noerr]
extend filesystem [noerr]
Parameters
Parameter
Description
size=<n>
Specifies the amount of space in megabytes (MB) to add to the current volume or partition. If no size is given, all of the contiguous free space that is available on the disk is used.
disk=<n>
Specifies the disk on which the volume or partition is extended. If no disk is specified, the volume or partition is extended on the current disk.
filesystem
Extends the file system of the volume with focus. For use only on disks where the file system was not extended with the volume.
noerr
For scripting only. When an error is encountered, DiskPart continues to process commands as if the error did not occur. Without this parameter, an error causes DiskPart to exit with an error code.
<n>
<n>
Remarks
On basic disks, the free space must be on the same disk as the volume or partition with focus. It must also immediately follow the volume or partition with focus (that is, it must start at the next sector offset).
On dynamic disks with simple or spanned volumes, a volume can be extended to any free space on any dynamic disk. Using this command, you can convert a simple dynamic volume into a spanned dynamic volume. Mirrored, RAID-5 and striped volumes cannot be extended.
If the partition was previously formatted with the NTFS file system, the file system is automatically extended to fill the larger partition and no data loss will occur.
If the partition was previously formatted with a file system other than NTFS, the command fails with no change to the partition.
If the partition was not previously formatted with a file system, the partition will still be extended.
The partition must have an associated volume before it can be extended.
Examples
To extend the volume or partition with focus by 500 megabytes, on disk 3, type:
extend size=500 disk=3
To extend the file system of a volume after it was extended, type:
extend filesystem
extract / extrac32
Extracts files from a cabinet or source.
Note
On Windows Server 2016 and newer, and on Windows 10, the program file Extract.exe is neither provided nor supported.
It is replaced by Extrac32.exe, originally part of Internet Explorer, now part of the operating system.
Syntax
Extract.exe
