Expand-Dedup
File
Syntax
Expand-DedupFile
[-Path] <String[]>
[-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
[-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
[-AsJob]
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Expand-DedupFile cmdlet expands an optimized file into its original location. You may need to expand optimized files because of compatibility with applications or other requirements.
Ensure that there is enough space on the volume to store the expanded file. If you do not have enough disk space, the cmdlet attempts to expand the file, and then informs you when it is unable to finish the operation. If you attempt to restore a file that is not optimized, the cmdlet notifies you of the error.
Examples
Example 1: Expand a file
PS C:\> Expand-DedupFile -Path "D:\Share\File07.doc"
This command expands a file to its original location, D:\Share\File07.doc. If the file is not optimized, the cmdlet informs you of the problem.
Required Parameters

Optional Parameters
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt.
You can continue to work in the session while the job completes.
To manage the job, use the
*-Job
cmdlets.
To get the job results, use the
Receive-Job
cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs .

Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Default value: | None |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
If this parameter is omitted or a value of
0
is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.
The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
