After increasing a virtual machine VMDK size you need to also resize this partition in Windows.<\/p>\n
This can be completed remotely using PowerShell. There are various methods to run this but I prefer to use “Server Management” and admin the machines from here. you can run “PowerShell” on a remote session to run the script below.<\/p>\n
This process will increase the C:\\ partition to use all space that has been allocated by VMware. (Replace -DriveLetter with the required drive)<\/p>\n
There are various methods (this is just one of them) <\/p>\n
