re: Using DISKPART to Improve Deployment Efficiency

Matt - Are you certain the syntax of this script is correct? On diskpart 5.1.3565, "create partition" requires an additional argument (I believe you would want "create partition primary") and "primary" is not a valid command at all.

I think you also want to ensure that a drive letter gets assigned to the volume after the partition is created, so that it can be formatted after diskpart completes - perhaps using something akin to:

select volume 1
assign

If your example is working for you as posted, are you using a different version of diskpart?

Thanks
