Resize Partition on Server 2019 with CMD Diskpart

You can shrink or extend a volume on Server 2019 using Diskpart to change the partition size without losing data or formatting the disk.

Resizing a partition using the diskpart command in Windows Server 2019 can be done by following these steps:

Note: Before resizing a partition, it is recommended to backup your data to prevent data loss.

• Open the Command Prompt as an administrator.
• Type "diskpart" and press enter.
• Type "list volume" and press enter to show the list of volumes/partitions.
• Identify the partition you want to resize and note the volume number.
• Type "select volume X" where X is the volume number of the partition you want to resize.
• Type "extend [size=X]" to increase the partition size by X number of MB, or "shrink [size=X]" to decrease the partition size by X number of MB.

Note: If you don't specify a size, diskpart will use all available space.

If the command is successful, you will see a message indicating that the partition has been resized.

Type "exit" to close the diskpart utility.

Close the Command Prompt.

Your partition should now be resized. You can confirm the new partition size by using the "list volume" command in diskpart.
