Setting the drive letter

I’ve been working on some WMI  functions for disks recently. First off setting the disk drive letter.

function set-driveletter {            
[CmdletBinding()]            
param (            
 [string]$computer=".",            
             
 [parameter(Mandatory=$true)]            
 [string]            
 [ValidatePattern("^[A-Z]{1}:{1}`$")]            
 $olddrive,            
             
 [parameter(Mandatory=$true)]            
 [string]            
 [ValidatePattern("^[A-Z]{1}:{1}`$")]            
 $newdrive            
              
)            
            
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Volume -ComputerName $computer -Filter "DriveLetter='$olddrive'" |             
Set-WmiInstance -Arguments @{DriveLetter=$newdrive}            
}

The difficult bit was getting the regular expression correct. It tests that we have a single letter and a colon.  The old and new drives are mandatory parameters

Simple call to Get-WmiObject and pipe to Set-WmiInstance.

Use it like this:

set-driveletter -olddrive z: -newdrive i:  

Jobs a good un.
