Karl-WE  Hi, thanks for reporting this issue! To help with the diagnosis, can you please also try using Disk Management? I'd like to see if this issue persists across Diskpart, Server Manager, AND Disk Management.

      Hello AndrewHansen I am still seeing this issue that i cannot format any drives using diskpart, Server Manager in b20270 and b27282 on the local machine.

       

      But now it is getting interesting. Using WAC 2012 Preview this works from a remote machine. I still have to believe there is something broken with the local commands.

      Hi Mary Hoffman do you know if anyone is actively triaging this?

        Karl-WE  Hi, apologies for the delay. We've investigated this a bit further. Can you look in “\windows\system32” directory to see if the files “untfs.dll” and “uReFS.dll” exist? It looks like dispart is failing to load those modules. 

         

        Thanks!

        Andrew
