How to extend a logical volume using Powershell

Question

On Windows XP SP3, how can I extend a volume using Powershell on a remote computer?

I prefer WMI over Powershell remoting.

On my local computer I would do this by piping the commands to diskpart:

PS> $a = "select disk 0","select volume 0","extend" | diskpart
PS> write-host $a

Maybe you can build on this to achieve the desired result on the remote computer

	Current solution: Invoke-Command -ComputerName $compName -Credential $compCred -ScriptBlock {"rescan","select volume 2","extend" \| diskpart} – Primoz Jan 27 '11 at 8:35
