Scripting the use of Diskpart?through diskpart? To reconnect a dynamic disk the following commands are necessary diskpart select disk X online That command would and does bring an offline dynamic disk back online. However when I run that through a batch file it hangs at the following prompt: Diskpart> Its almost as if external interactive commands are prohibited from running for saftey precautions. Is there a work around to this or can anyone give some advice. Just FYI, I am trying to do this for an iSCSI SAN that has dynamic disks configured on a connected server, since Microsoft's iSCSI initator does not support dynamic disks I am looking for a work around from purchasing an iSCSI HBA just for dyanmic disk support. Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to reply with an informative answer. Because I am by no means a scripting guru, in your example, what does script.scr refer to? For instance with my very simple and basic batch file, how would I combine that with the below example to make this work? I tried looking up some examples but it didnt really touch on the exact variables...maybe Im just missing the obvious though, and if so I apologize. Thanks kindly.
