Hi all
I have an issue with PowerShell and the Mount-DiskImage cmdlet-it doesn’t auto assign a drive letter when it mounts a VHD. If I use
$Disk=Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath $VHD -PassThru
It will mount the VHD file but it will not assign a drive letter, nor does seem to even be attached.
Attached : False
BlockSize : 2097152
DevicePath :
FileSize : 55220109312
ImagePath : Path to VHD
LogicalSectorSize : 512

Size : 137067757568
StorageType : 3

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Tim
What OS are you using? Do you see your VHD mounted in Explorer? When I tested this with Windows 10 1703, I get the same output in the console (Attached = False), but when I check Explorer, I see the mounted VHD with a drive letter.
Hi
yes I am running 17.03 as well. I see it in Disk Management mounted but there is no drive letter assigned to it. I can assign a drive letter to it from DiskPart and from Disk Management but not from PowerShell as it it doesn’t even return a ID for the disk number so I can’t pipe it to the Get-Disk cmdlet
Strange indeed.
If you open Diskpart as an administrator and type automount it will give the current policy. Setting this to enable i.e. automount enable should give any new VHD’s a drive letter
I checked on the automount setting with DiskPart and it is set to enabled already.
I have bypassed Mount-DiskImage and enabled Hyper-V Services so I can use Mount-VHD.
The Mount-VHD command works as expected, I assume the Mount-DiskImage just does not work as I would expect it to.
Thanks again!
