I'm building servers with disks pre-formatted. I want to use Powershell to reset the disks so they can be used in the primordial pool and be eligible for Storage Spaces. In the Storage Spaces UI, I just click reset and it changes the Partition from MBR to Unknown. That works fine, now I try to do the same with Powershell...
Get-Disk --> shows the partition style is MBR
Get-PhysicalDisk | ft FriendlyName,CanPool --> shows CanPool = False
Reset-PhysicalDisk physicaldisk1 --> has no effect!
Initialize-Disk 1 --> error "the disk is already initialized"
Remote-Partition 1 --> prompts endlessly for partitionnumber, there is only 1 partition
I appreciate any tips.
